Lenovo IdeaPad U350 Review

The Lenovo IdeaPad U350 is a 13.3 "thin and light notebook based on Intel CULV. SU2700 Intel offers a simple heart to heart with SU7300 double up to 4 GB of DDR3 memory and a choice of four-cell or 8-cell battery life. In this review of the Lenovo IdeaPad U350, which look at how you play in a wide range of activities, including time away from the wall to see if this is the perfect traveling companion.

Planning and building

The Lenovo ThinkPad series has always been unique designs compared to other laptops and Lenovo U350 notebook is a unique future. For starters, the U350 has a cross printed fabric texture on the upper deck of the screen in most dell inspiron 1525 battery are covered with glossy paint. This provides the user with a touch of a completely different experience: you can hear the difference in texture when you touch the laptop. I think it looks like any other kind of fresh and unique, but I do not agree with this. Inside the U350, you will find a plastic wrist rest coated with a brushed metal finish to simulate the look of metal. This is a design element, I agree with because it gives the illusion of a better realization of this offer plastic.

Build quality is still very good, with a solid and durable components. The plastic outside feels strong, with very little flexibility, even under moderate pressure. The plastic textures not only beautiful, but hide the abuse from a daily mix of lines in the printed pattern. He does a good job hiding stains and fingerprints compared to laptops with bright plastic exterior. Inside, the palm rest and the keyboard feels solid under the weight of your hands and arms. The frame does not twist or bend when you hold the laptop on the edge of the palmrest. In short, the laptop feels like you have to stay in a piece of his life.


Those who love to play with computers or to add functionality to truly appreciate it as a replacement for Lenovo IdeaPad U350 built. A panel at the bottom of the thinkpad t60 battery allows you to access the hard drive, system memory, WiFi and WWAN card slot open. While Lenovo is not currently an option in a U350 WWAN number, the handset comes pre-wired with the crowned son of the antenna if you want to install the 3G card itself. There is a SIM card slot under the battery for consumers that require WWAN GSM-based options. Not Found "void the warranty if removed" stickers explicitly in the laptop, but Lenovo's non-adhesive covering the edges of RAM, Wi-Fi card screws, and screw on the radiator that can be used to indicate an alteration.

Screen and speakers

The 13.3 "screen is average, with the correct color and contrast, but with significantly lower viewing angles. Poor screen quality TN panels are normal and that most thin and light notebook, there are very few, but some screens than others. For standardization activities such as surfing the web or write documents that do not really notice the color change, but when viewing photos or watching a movie darker the color change is very visible and annoying . vertical viewing angles up to 10 degrees forward or back when the colors start to change dramatically. horizontal viewing angles are slightly better than the colors remain true, except for very steep angles. 200nit Backlight level calculated by Lenovo , and in our tests, it works great under the lights for the lighting of the office. The screen is not powerful enough to overcome the nature of light reflections on the screen to direct sunlight.


The speakers are fine for listening to streaming radio or TV from time to time. That said, the headphones are a much better solution to really enjoy music and movies from this laptop, thanks to low and low mid-range speakers. Another alternative is to use the HDMI to transmit digital audio to your stereo.

Keyboard and touchpad

The full-size keyboard is ideal for typing and 13 "form factor is the perfect compromise between size and comfort of users. Too little and your wrist does not really support the wrists. All the great and the powerbook g4 battery becomes too large size for transport. key action is smooth and quiet, with a faint click when a button is pressed fully. squirming key is small, each key node is properly connected to the scissor mechanism below. We did not notice any keyboard press less flexible too hard on the keys. In short, the keyboard of the U350 is easily among the best I've used a thin and light notebook.

The IdeaPad U350 offers a wide Synaptics touchpad, which is one of the best models we've seen in this form factor of the laptop. The surface texture is slightly rough and gives a good wet traction without hard swipe. Speed and accuracy are very good and hardly noticed any delay in our tests. Refresh rate of the touch screen is very good and avoids any "stuttering", as we saw recently in a few Synaptics touchpad. The acceleration in each axis is sufficiently sensitive and ensures that the movement of the cursor on the screen corresponds to the movement of the finger on the touchpad. The touchpad buttons have excellent action with smooth, supple, with a long shot. The only complaint I have is the buttons you need to do a full press release below, such as buttons go, if not completely activate the button.

Ports and Features

Selection of the doors is very good with three USB ports, VGA, HDMI, Gigabit LAN, audio in / out and an SDHC card slot. SDHC has a spring, but do not get the card into the slot. When you insert a complete set of SDHC slot that attaches only partially. Do not expect to see a built-in optical drive on this laptop, so if you plan to reinstall the operating system or DVD RIP, take a drive and USB external optical drive. The media keys are limited to a mute button and dell xps m1530 battery to directly access the recovery software from Lenovo.

Performance and benchmarks

System performance with the Intel CULV SU2700 is less than stellar. Most programs take much longer to load or access to information on the options before CULV. Even with 4 GB of memory, the system seems to slow as most of the netbook Intel Atom-based. However, the basic tasks like surfing the Internet, listen to iTunes, write papers or watch SD video is sometimes a problem for the IdeaPad U350. When we moved to HD video, while multi-tasking, the system has been greatly. If this system includes SU4100 and SU7300 more dual-core processors would be no problem. Most of the configurations with more processors do not cost much more than this model, so there's no reason not to choose a faster way.

Heat and Noise

The system temperature was maintained within normal limits with low-end processor from a single nucleus. The cavity was significant warm disc in the left palm rest and the bottom of the laptop, but the temperature was not uncomfortable. Noise levels were average for a machine of this size, but the fan can get on your nerves if you're used to a laptop computer in complete silence. The U350 has a tendency to keep the fan running all the time, or if it is to maintain low temperatures to keep the processor within a certain temperature range. Fan noise was only slightly stronger than the sound of a hard drive, but if you've heard good things, you'll notice.

Battery

Battery life with the 4-cell Fujitsu t5010 Battery and SU2700 is lower than expected. During our testing, with screen brightness at 70%, View the profile of the diet "balanced" and the wireless system was active for 3 hours and 35 minutes before going into standby mode. Energy consumption during the test ranged from 9-10 watts. Lenovo offers a 8-cell battery with more expensive models for users who are seeking greater autonomy, and 8-cell battery provides more than 7 hours of battery life.

Conclusion

The Lenovo IdeaPad U350 notebook is a thin and lightweight ... until you choose the model with the Intel SU2700 slow. The U350 features a unique design, built with a textured surface, high quality and excellent options for the update. That can make or break this system is that the configuration, which could spread rapidly from very slow in most tasks. The battery life is below average with the 4-cell battery, but an 8-cell battery is standard on models with higher prices. The IdeaPad U350 offers excellent value in general, as long as you choose the right setting.

Dell Studio 17 Reviews

The Studio 17 is a gaming notebook 17 inches, and the multimedia desktop replacement from Dell. This system can be configured with Intel Core i7 and high-end ATI Mobility Radeon compete with power systems like the Acer Aspire 8940G and Asus G51J. Dell has a trump card with the Studio 17, the first mass market mobile to offer a multi-screen option.

The careful reader may notice and review of the Dell Studio 17 last year. However, this is not the same as Studio 17. The system studied here is the new Studio 17 (1747), which uses a new design with 16:9 widescreen display, new speakers, and support the latest processors.

Construction and Design

Dell Studio 17 has a sleek wedge-shaped, which helps to mask its large footprint. The sloping design reduces the thickness of the dell inspiron 1545 battery, and if not taken into account the bulky 9-cell battery, which is significantly higher than my ThinkPad T60 when it is closed. Cover red display looks great and is also available in other colors if you set your own laptop. The cover has a rubbery texture paint gives the laptop a great soft feel and helps to increase the grip of the fingers. Inside the Studio 17 is made of plastic and polished to match the touchpad flush mounting. Cut the palm rest is painted with a metallic silver finish on the seat directly surrounding the keyboard is glossy black plastic. Both finishes resist scratches seem light, which is a blessing for laptops that need to be cleaned constantly and spotless bright clean appearance.

Specific design elements that really bothers me is the design of the battery. I much prefer the method of long-lasting batteries that extend the back of the laptop. The retail method is used to mount the battery prevents the Dell Studio 17 sits perfectly flush with the desk surface. The only problem with the use of a battery that extends from the rear with this laptop is the design of the hinge that could interfere with the extended battery.

The chassis feels very strong and when the handset is closed, it feels strong enough to be (although not recommended standing on it). Dell did a great job to improve the robustness and truly hit the mark with the precision of body panels. Each panel is in place even with the holes around the contact surfaces. These panels feel durable and resistant to bending under moderate pressure. The laptop seems on the surface in the bending of the tray for the keyboard flexes slightly under pressure.


The bottom of the laptop has a clean look, with a single access portal to the user replaceable components. Users who wish to update the Studio 17 are two drive bays, three mini-PCIe, two memory slots and the BIOS battery. The configuration of the hard drive bay and left open slot for wireless WAN and a TV tuner card. The processor and graphics card are not accessible via the main access panel, so as to change one of these would require further dismantling of the laptop. Not "void the warranty if removed" stickers were found at any location inside or outside the team.

Screen and speakers

The 17.3-inch Studio 17 is above average with excellent color saturation and contrast. Dell has a resolution of 1600x900 in the middle of this model, which is better than WXGA, but still below the 1080p displays that are standard in most models of competition. Having said that Dell offers RGB-LED screen refresh options of this model in which none of the competing models offer similar screens.

The standard screen has a good vertical viewing angles, where the colors are beginning to invest significantly until the screen is tilted 15 to 20 degrees forward or backward. Horizontal viewing angles are better with colors staying true to about 80 degrees in any direction. Background levels of light are very good in terms of lightness, brightness and even the point. With the screen showing a black background, a minimum of blood around the edges to normal light levels. With the recent 80% increase in black levels begin to appear fuzzy, but this is normal for the light panels. The backlight is strong enough to comfortably view the screen in the office or outside brilliant if you find a shady spot.

Dell Studio 17-speaker JBL stereo includes a subwoofer down firing. The main causes are first drawn through the corners to support the palms, which is much preferred shooting portable speakers can thump. In our tests, the Studio 17 speakers rated above average when playing movies and music. Notes and mid-range high-end came across clearly and subwoofer added some bass that is generally lacking in many laptops. The maximum volume is above average and more than able to fill a small to medium room with sound.

Keyboard and Touchpad

The keyboard on the Studio 17 is very nice and very comfortable to write with a palm rest mass. With the dell latitude e6400 battery sitting on the edge of a table or wrists on the knees are fully compatible with the forearm. The smooth and rounded edge at the front of the laptop does not appear to cause pressure points that can be a problem with some laptops. The keyboard maximizes the surface density of Studio 17. The keyboard is full-size keys are not condensed and includes a large number of four keys. The design is standard on Dell function keys are secondary keys and access to primary education. For example, you can adjust the brightness directly by pressing F4 and F5, but to refresh a web page, you click FN + F5. You may notice some keyboard flexible under pressure, but in an ordinary character is not so obvious. Individual key action is smooth with a gentle click any key issue when it is completely down. The configuration we reviewed does not offer a backlit display, but can be included as an option for $ 25. After using the Studio 17 a couple of nights in front of my TV that I find really hoping that the backlight came standard.

The Synaptics touchpad is a great model, with some support multitouch. Gestures are advanced two-finger scroll, rotate, zoom, pinch, and a film of three fingers. The sensitivity is excellent with the touch screen to pick up the slightest touch without any problems. This caused some problems if you brush your palm against the pavement as you move the cursor to a target. The touch screen can detect the entry of a second and to the freezing of the cursor until you leave. No amount of adjusting the settings to fix this, but with enough practice, you learn to move your hand further away from the border of the touchpad. Touchpad is very fast with no noticeable lag noticed, even in fast motion. The texture of the surface is a dull light and easy to slide your finger in the wet or dry. The touchpad buttons are also very nice with deep and launch a soft click when pressed.

Ports and Features

Selection of the doors is very good, even without the added ports or slots on the front or the rear edge of the laptop. Dell also includes two USB ports, eSATA / USB combo port VGA port, HDMI and DisplayPort, LAN, two headphone jacks, audio, LAN, and finally, one FireWire 400 port. Expansion slots ExpressCard/34 slot and includes a SDHC card reader. An additional port was not used in our setup is the antenna that connects to a TV tuner inside. We had a problem with the USB port design, the law has sufficient space separated from each other to avoid the use of some two cables.

Dell Studio 17 includes an accelerometer that protects the hard drive in case of failure of the physical system. If it detects that the laptop is falling rapidly stops the hard drive to minimize the damage. This is common in many business notebooks, but unlike other applications we've seen, this was the first to cause problems. If the laptop is too thin in any direction, will directly influence the direction of movement on the screen. First noticed during our test phase when the handset is resting in an elevated position. If Studio 17 is tilted forward selection dialog random switch. If the handset is tilted to one side starts to move the selection box from top to bottom. The only way to solve this problem is to uninstall the drivers ScreenDection ST Micro. This issue also reported on the Dell community forum.

Performance and benchmarks

Dell Studio 17 is no exception with its Intel Core i7 720QM and ATI Mobility Radeon 4650. When playing Left 4 Dead with a resolution of 1600x900 with high-speed settings that saw an average of 60 fps, up to 87FPS, 38FPS and lower. Even with the hordes of zombies around the main characters always dropped below 30FPS laptop. Although this system is capable of playing Left 4 Dead with high values still fell behind G51J ASUS and Acer 8940G, which includes better graphics card. Since the Studio 17 laptop is a result all centered around the media who do not have a big problem with that. The disadvantage is that users need to update or go to the Studio XPS 16 Alienware M17x options for better graphics card from vgp-bps9 s battery. Both alternatives have a much higher early - about $ 1,600 - can be difficult to digest if you work on a smaller budget. HD video has not been a problem for the Studio 17 with Core i7 running at 1.6 GHz. The processor has not broken a sweat playing 720p and 1080p, with plenty of space in the upper left for other activities.

Heat and noise

The thermal performance of the Dell Studio 17 is above average when you consider that an individual fan is responsible for cooling a quad-core processor, and mid-range graphics cards. In the normal operating temperature if kept at reasonable levels, with a few hot spots. Stress in some areas near the processor and the touchpad is warm but not uncomfortable levels. Fan noise is minimal in all conditions, but becomes sharper and more frequent under the load.

Battery

Our approach to Studio 17 includes a 9-cell Fujitsu Lifebook t4210 Battery that helped tighten an impressive time of this laptop Core i7 equipped. In our battery test with screen brightness at 70%, wireless enabled and Windows 7 in the equilibrium profile of the laptop is left for 4 hours and 19 minutes. When testing the Studio 17 uses between 17 and 19 watts of power.

Conclusion

Dell Inspiron 17 has worked very well as a laptop-oriented multimedia pa3534u 1brs replacement. The system includes everything you want, including great speakers, nice display options, a fast processor and a graphics card capable. Compared to the Acer 8940G G51J ASUS or NVIDIA 260M and 250M offer, respectively, the Studio 17 remains behind in gaming performance with lower performance ATI Mobility Radeon 4650. No other higher scorecard can be configured with Studio 17, which means you must jump for the Studio XPS 16 and Alienware m17x, which have much higher starting prices. In general, 17 sweeps competition in the study of customization options - including a choice of RGB LED-backlit panel or touch screen - and offers a low entry price for the installation of the Core i7. Keeping this system in your list if you intend to buy a laptop 17 "anytime soon.

MSI Wind U135 Review

The Wind U135 is one of the latest netbook from MSI in the format of 10 inches. Lunch with Pine Trail netbook Intel promises greater autonomy and performance compared to previous models that still use the Intel Atom. Our most durable laptop today is the Asus Eee PC 1005PE, pointing to more than 12 hours with normal use. In this review we have the MSI Wind U135 to test and see how it compares with an ASUS Eee PC 1005PE, offering almost identical hardware.

Design and construction

The MSI Wind U135 has a simple design with a color scheme, clean, high contrast. The screen is covered by a "print film color technology" that resembles the arrival of law HPnotebooks. It offers a longer life than the painted surface is glossy while the art of working with the design. MSI was a very simple model, the U135 card that fits well with the characteristics of the netbook. The model is also copied to the hp dv6500 battery on the surface of the touch screen. MSI retains the look of the laptop in silver, but to preserve the pattern of the tiles, it moves from a structured silver paint. It looks like a matte finish, while maintaining soft feel of a paint job on glossy paper. As part of the screen and a glossy black keyboard tray are large and move parts of polished silver mirror where the hands and palms are still bleeding.


Build quality is average compared to most netbooks, with a tough exterior shell when the lid is closed and the abundance of screen saver. The glossy finish is scratch resistant to a degree, but still show the damage in case of abuse. For the average user is stored in a backpack between classes, or use it for the trip to do a deep reflection, without a scratch. The keyboard and palmrest show some flexibility under high pressure, but does not interfere with normal writing.


Users wishing to upgrade any component will be a surprise when he realizes that there are access panels on the bottom of the U135. To share the wireless card, add a hard drive or memory card, if you divide in half. One of the advantages of U135 netbook other is more free memory location. The 1 GB of base memory is soldered in place, leaving a free slot for future upgrades. Netbooks like the Asus Eee PC 1005PE have confused the need to stick with a stick 2 GB 1 GB which costs much more than the same end result.

Screen and speakers

The Wind U135 has a 10 "LED-backlit glossy that rates below average compared to other similarly sized netbooks. In our review model, we found significant backlight bleeding on all sides when the brightness is in top of the stairs. During the boot sequence, which is especially visible when the background is black. Turn the backlight up to 50-70% reduces bleeding, but still very visible if you were in a dark room watching a color film. and contrast are comparable to competitors from other ibook g4 battery, thanks to the glossy surface of the screen. If the backlight bleeding is reduced, it would be a great machine to watch movies while. traveling at the maximum brightness of the screen is readable in bright conditions outside the office if you are in an area that the sun reflects off the screen viewing angles are average with the vertical structure focuses on 15. - 20 degrees forward or ago, first began to invert the colors. Horizontal angle display is better, keeping colors true, even looking at sharp angles.

President in the performance is average compared to most of the netbooks on the market in the sense that they lacked any semblance of low volume and a portable full size. For most users of the speakers are fine if you want to see a video clip or listen to faster music in the background, but if you watch a movie, a helmet is the preferred option.

Keyboard and touchpad

The keyboard of the MSI Wind U135 is a near carbon copy of the keyboard is on the ASUS Eee PC 1005PE. Chiclet-style keyboard and they share the same design, size of the key and the key figure. The only notable differences are the labels that appear in bold in the MSI version. Comparing the two side by side models, the U135 feels solid and fixed to the structure, while the keyboard slightly 1005PE rebounds. Tactile feedback is almost identical with the same force and noise when you press the button.


Out of the box on the touch screen is disappointing, no driver or services of public support. Like the X-Slim X340, MSI has not included any type of touchpad support specific producer of the box, rather than relying on the basic Windows. The end result is a delay touchpad without scrolling or multi-touch capabilities.

On the internet we found the touchpad driver Sentelic appears on the site for the MSI U135, but not originally included in the review model, or the recovery partition. After installing the touchpad software came to life and even offered several two-finger multi-touch. The surface of the touch screen is above average with a matte finish that was easy to fall, as some glossy touchpad as seen in the latest laptops. The touchpad buttons share the same type of switch, but the button was flexible enough that both sides can be pressed at the same time with minimal effort.

Ports and Features

Port selection on the vgp-bps9 s battery is comparable to that of its competitors, which offers three USB ports, audio jacks, VGA, Ethernet and SDHC card reader. For the safety of slow and a Kensington lock included.

Performance and benchmarks

The system performance for daily activities is good for a netbook, but it is close to many of the new ultra-portable that comes with the Intel CULV. The commitment has always been energy, with greater autonomy in netbooks. We had no problems browsing the web or visit sites with Flash content, such as YouTube. The transmission of HD content is always a problem, but the SD showed no problem with stuttering. Local HD video with a resolution of 720p or less played 1080p content with pushing the edge. Time to start, stop and see were very fast, allowing you to close the lid and pop it in your backpack without worrying that they will run and packaged. Compared to most of the netbooks we feel much the rate increases to normal activities has come from Windows 7 and not necessarily the best way of Pine platform.

Heat and noise

MSI Wind U135 heat very well done, but at the cost of a fan runs continuously. Even if it remains inactive for long periods of time the fan on the U135 was run at a slow but steady. Blowing air outlet temperature is about, making us wonder why the fan just stop with that is within that cold. For people with sensitive ears or people who could work in a classroom noise and quiet small fan is strong enough to be heard by the people directly around them. And "at or very near the volume of a whisper.

Battery

With the latest management Pine Trail netbooks 12 hours, I had high hopes for the MSI Wind U135. Unfortunately, this is not the case, despite sharing the same hardware, except the wireless card and the battery capacity (the U135 is 5Wh less). In dell inspiron 1525 battery test with screen brightness set at 70%, wireless enabled, and Windows 7 with the profile of "balance" the system was maintained for 6 hours and 30 minutes. During the test, the U135 consumes between 7.5 and 8.5 watts of power. During the same test of the Eee PC 1005PE remained for 12 hours and 1 minute, the consumption of 4.5 to 4.7 watts of power. To put the system on an equal footing, we also discussed 1005PE Atheros WiFi card to see if that was the culprit, but consumption remains the same. Our hypothesis is that the level of polishing the material in the MSI Wind is not as broad as it is in the Eee PC 1005PE, demonstrating that even with the same hardware, you can have tangible and significant differences between the models of netbooks .

Conclusion

MSI Wind U135 continued competition in terms of software support and battery life. Out of the box U135 touchpad lacked any kind of software - including the recovery partition - which greatly reduces the functionality. Then find the drivers included on the support site of MSI, which has multi-touch options, as well as simple functions, such as displacement. Another great disadvantage especially for this netbook is the battery life, with half the battery life of your Asus Eee PC 1005PE with the same hardware and only a slightly larger dell inspiron 1501 battery. This large difference in battery life comes from the increased consumption of energy: the U135 attracts about 8 watts in standby mode and consumes less than 5 watts 1005PE. Overall, the MSI Wind U135 takes a great amount of enamel, but with improvements in energy use and software box, which would be a great little netbook.

Lenovo IdeaPad U450 User Review

The Lenovo IdeaPad U450P is a thin and lightweight 14 "widescreen presented in August 2009 for the current line of U series notebooks branded consumer laptops. U450 bridges the gap between the 13" U350and 15.4 "U550. Brochures U are advertised as stylish, portable machines, the media consumption of ultra-low voltage (CULV) Intel and thin LED screens. While Lenovo has managed to combine the perfect blend of performance and portability? Read later to find out!

The revised configuration is 33892GU here that has an Intel Core 2 Duo SU7300 (1.30GHz 800MHz 3MB) and ATI Radeon HD4330 512 MB dedicated video card.

Construction and Design

The dell inspiron 1545 battery is a black plastic casing and slightly rounded corners and edges. The cover and the area around the keyboard (including the palm rest) has a touch like a checkerboard pattern that resists stains, fingerprints and scratches. Some may find distracting or disturbing pattern after prolonged use, but we see this as a design choice that gives this otherwise nice if a bit 'plasticky class and, unlike the common shiny plastic recently. The top of the screen was an emblem of metal, plastic Lenovo integrated in the upper left. The frame around the screen is bright, smooth plastic, black and hinge connecting the body seems fairly typical - the plastic on the outside and not too tight or loose. The device is kept closed by the tension in the joints. A fan on the left. Ports on the back and not just to keep the battery in its place. White LEDs A / C, battery, wireless status, use of the hard drive and touch screen (on / off) are in the lower left of the window. The power button is on the left of the keyboard and Lenovo OneKey (recovery, backups, etc.) is directly above.

Overall, the notebook is well organized with all the components are very durable. The palm of the hand and the case is not based flex and are well supported. Deflection of the screen and can twist a bit ', but there are plans for a laptop this thin - a thin screen that simply can not be perfectly rigid. The fan is in a good position (right) and it is never too hot.

As a 14 ", the area around the keyboard is big enough, and Lenovo has achieved a balance between good profits dedicated controls and disorder. In any case, the design is a bit 'spartan, with only five buttons on the keyboard and more again. The power button (next to the keyboard in the upper left), Lenovo OneKey (just above the power button), volume up / down and mute buttons (beside the keyboard at the top right) and speakers (above the keyboard) is intuitively placed.
The hard drive and DVD player are considered "fixed" (not removable) and repairs and improvements so it will be difficult, requiring navigation through the components inside the laptop. After working with the ThinkPad and Dell laptops to easily remove hard drives and CD drives (often a point of exchange), it was a bit 'of pain, but it is quite comparable to the evolution of consumer laptops.

The fund provides access to a SO-DIMM RAM via two screws removed easily in a plastic mannequin-SIM card connected via a single top and three screws to access the keyboard and internal components below.

The hinges can be a bit 'stronger and the material could be an end a little' higher, but the actual quality of construction is high. The design is the most striking stripes along the entire matter and the subtlety of the laptop. Although a bit 'wide to 14 ", the front of the notebook is actually less than 1" on the table. We found 14 "from a great size for a laptop, and is not an exception, its size and handling characteristics Wight, is ideal for travel and tray tables on the floor, but also used daily in an office.

Screen and speakers

The screen is a 14.0 "WXGA (1366x768 - 16:09) .., bright LED-backlit TFT Lenovo measures at 220 nits, a contrast ratio of 500:1 a camera of 1.3 megapixel fixed-focus the Above screen is in the frame of the screen is free of dead pixels .., quite bright in the clear and can be disabled by pressing Fn + F2 whites are a bit 'cooler and possibly more in particular in relation to portable screens elderly couple - probably a color relatively new LED backlighting are vivid and text is clear that the native resolution is more or less ideal for a laptop of this size in a random check reveals a dark room ... no light leakage or access points.

From left to right viewing angles are surprisingly good, but the viewing angles from top to bottom are typical of a little 'weak. The "sweet spot" is large enough that it should not cause problems. The screen can be folded about 125 degrees - a little 'surprise, but not a problem. If the bright WXGA screen for you, this laptop screen does not fall short. The ATI Catalyst Control Panel (included with the discrete graphics card) gives plenty of adjustment options. In combination with the video card, the screen is ideal for multimedia applications, lights and anything that requires a mid-range GPU.

Two speakers are left and right on the keyboard. Lenovo says it is a "home theater system, Dolby sound with two stereo speakers," but it would be more accurate to say only slightly better than the traditional notebook. They get pretty loud, but louder the volume, his tinnitus. In the better. The headphone jack or the HDMI port will be essential reading for any serious music (later). Volume up, down and mute buttons adorn the right side of the box next to the keyboard. To be honest, the speakers are terrible for a laptop, and probably a little 'above average, but when external speakers are available, will obviously be preferable.

Keyboard and touchpad

The keyboard of this macbook pro battery is a bit 'better than average. The size, the space key on the keyboard and feel are strong. Race distance and a sense of movement are clearly affected by ideals and Thinkpad design. The fundamental sound is solid, while a little 'off. There is some flexibility on the keyboard when you apply a strong pressure, increased left to right, but nothing remarkable use of a normal character. The unique features of the keyboard has a narrow, squeezed between Ctrl and Alt key in the Windows flag on the left of the spacebar, and a Fn key as the key to the left of the Ctrl key. Caps Lock and security numbers (F8), the keys have LEDs in them to show white when activated. No numeric keypad, but the orange Fn key allows access to a number of additional buttons, including volume controls and brightness buttons. In general, you might have a little 'less flexible, but generally exceeds the quality of most consumer portable keyboards.


The Synaptics touchpad is typical of a large area of movement and two separate large buttons, plastic metalicized below. The material is soft, frosted plastic and comfortable and easy to run a finger width. The speed is just outside the box. The section of the touch screen has a line of orange dots almost tangible, indicating that the finger can scroll up or down to scroll. Multi-touch is compatible. The touchpad is nothing special, but does the job. A microphone is located immediately to the left of it, so the sound recording when using the touchpad or write can cause a conflict.

Ports of entry and exit

On the left are two USB ports side by side (but decently large space for a USB dongle), a Gigabit Ethernet port, HDMI (HDCP), VGA, fan, power outlet and a locking slot.

This is a great mix of ports in strategic locations. The headphone jack could cause problems for people with a right mouse next to the laptop, but otherwise, nothing essential is missing or misplaced. The laptop has no expansion slots PC Card slot Express Card o, three USB ports, but essentially this excuse. An S-Video, a FireWire port and the bay would be interchangeable as pleasant, but certainly not essential - especially on a laptop in this category.


The 3.5 mm headphone / audio jack provides some information on your top in all the volumes for the connection to the wall. When off the field decreases and becomes a bit 'more remarkable. This is not a major problem, and is fairly typical of mobile phones, but note for audiophiles out there. An external sound card will be required to obtain a pure sound.

Performance and benchmarks

This configuration comes with an Intel Core 2 Duo SU7300 processor (1.30GHz 800MHz 3MB) and 4 GB PC3-8500 DDR3 SDRAM 1066 MHz (2 x 2 GB). The computer is running Windows 7 and typical programs - word processing, web browsing, photo management - no problem. Since a processor ultra low voltage model, however, there are a couple of advantages and disadvantages. While the battery life extends beyond the normal Core 2 Duo chips loop slightly under load. There are some incidents that passes between the main program or process from the CPU. Configurations with less CPU is likely to fight even more, and may have some performance issues with many demanding programs running. The video editing and serious gaming on this machine is not recommended (but probably the GPU can handle modern games medium-low values), but given its size and target audience, this should not be a problem, activities office and should not be a daily challenge. The startup is fast and decent 4GB of RAM is more than enough for almost all the installed programs to run simultaneously, but slowly. 5400 rpm drive is and can be a good target for an update at 7200 rpm or SSD for those seeking the best possible performance.

All benchmarks were performed after removing bloatware in the administration of energy efficiency and costs after a reboot. Catalyst Control Center has been set for the performance and the default resolution was used. An antivirus program is kept in the background.

The handset has 37 seconds to access the login screen of Windows and a minute to get a usable desktop connected wirelessly at home.

The heat and noise

This dell latitude d630 battery does not heat up and becomes ever stronger, even under load. The hard drive is almost silent and the fan is pretty quiet, even at its best. You can sleep with this laptop, even his height. The hot spots are below the touch screen and ventilation. Neither warms on contact. During operation, the CD is clearly audible, but not most laptops. This is a very quiet notebook.

Wireless

The Intel WiFi Link 5100 wireless card 11a/b/g/n works better than many other wireless devices that worked, collecting dozens of local access points are usually not seen. Windows 7 works well with, so wireless connections easier than ever. Bluetooth is ready, and the combination of an intuitive device. Bluetooth mouse pairing simple and requires no additional drivers. The team may have an antenna for 3G connections, but the SIM card slot that connects is permanently sealed. This is not a major loss, but again, a little discomfort. Wireless works very well together.

Battery

The battery is a 6-cell lithium-ion 5200mAh, 57Wh. It fits in the back and has a locking lever and spring, plastic held in place. Using computer power management mode Energy Star - by default - as a 239 (3 hours, 59 minutes) minutes of power while surfing the Internet (WLAN and Bluetooth), watch videos, and pick up some open programs. It 'a moment for a team with a decent dedicated GPU, but low for a notebook CULV. Strict power settings, turn off the wireless transmitters and closing processes and programs, no doubt, add more time, but with a low-voltage processor, we expected more.

Operating System and Software

The computer comes with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, no problem - lenovo t400 battery calls a "best experience" and apparently made some adjustments and changes, but exactly what is not immediately apparent does not include. Recovery discs. The Lenovo OneKey Recovery Console allows you to create recovery discs (which requires two different DVD or CD) and the backup system of an image file. The team has a hidden partition in order to retrieve the touch of a button factory and a separate partition for drivers only.

However, the default condition includes an incredible amount of bloatware. The kit comes with a lot of trial-ware, adware and utilities are not needed. It took about 30 minutes to uninstall unneeded programs, leaving only the necessary services to Lenovo. Change of energy profiles of performance management can make a difference in overall speed of the system. Changing the default value of "Energy Star" to "high performance" changes the screen brightness and CPU usage significantly.
Over time, a little 'more, you can download a clean copy of Windows 7, you must install it using the key at the bottom of the laptop and install all the drivers and software components separately from the disk or a partition of the Lenovo site. This will almost certainly lead to increased performance slightly.

The distribution of hard disk partitions of 320 GB is a hidden partition OEM 14.75GB, a 252.88GB 200MB hidden C: 30.25GB and D: for drivers. All are formatted as NTFS. About 90% of C is at the finish.

Customer Service

The handset comes with 1 year parts and labor? Warranty. This laptop was purchased with an additional year in the days of on-site repair next-generation business to Lenovo. There is also support 24x7 free warranty issues during the warranty period at 877-453-6686. This service has not been proven, but Lenovo has a reputation worthy of support and on-site repair is generally considered good.

Conclusion

The dell latitude e6400 battery is a thin, well-built, fully portable CULV ideal for consumers looking for a balance between performance and portability. At the price point, the U450P competes with other similar systems (for example, the Dell Inspiron and Dell Studio 14Z 14Z), and probably beat the style and slim. The main users of the web office software, multimedia and realize they can walk with a machine that can handle virtually anything thrown at him. The parameters of the video card is a bit 'a paradox, since the addition of a power-hungry GPUs, defeats the point of getting a CULV, but give better support. The players really do not need to ask (in spite of configurations with discrete graphics games many possibilities). It lacks a few bells and whistles, is a bit 'expensive, and some minor problems, but they are reasonable compensation for one of the most powerful and elegant Culver on the market.

Lenovo IdeaPad U150 Reviews

The Lenovo IdeaPad U150 is a 11-inch laptop equipped with the latest Intel CULV for extreme battery life combined with an HDMI output for mobile entertainment. Moreover, this netbook packs enough performance for everyday activities is small enough to be his constant companion PC. If you spend your next $ 750 in this amazing little book? Read on to find out.

Planning and construction

Lenovo is known for the ThinkPad line of business that the company inherited from IBM, but the new range of IdeaPad consumer-oriented laptop is capable of generating some noise with a unique design and a moderate price. The Lenovo IdeaPad U150 is to continue this trend by offering a beautiful 11-inch laptop that competes with the Dell Inspiron Mini 11z and 311 HP. Like most 11-inch notebooks on the market, the U150 walks the fine line between a laptop and a notebook equipped with Intel Atom-based. The U150 is bigger and more powerful than the typical $ 400 Netbooks, but lacks impressive features and the size of a laptop with a Core 2 Duo high level of $ 650 - $ 900 price range. That said, the U150 definitely offers an attractive design with a combination of matte black, glossy black and shiny silver plastic.


The lid of the U150 has the same total width of weaving textures seen in the IdeaPad U350 is a nice addition and alternative to the covers of glossy seen in most dell inspiron 1545 battery 11 inches. The build quality is acceptable with less than half the solid plot, but the screen cover with plastic and metal panel thin plastic texture palmrests suffer a little more flexibility "that would like to see in laptops costing more than $ 600. Of course, most consumers probably will not realize the flexibility in the plastic on the outside unless you apply significant pressure palmrests or screen, but the 11-inch laptops are be completed within the bags back with heavy textbooks. .. Therefore, I would like the U150 to be a bit 'stronger. On the other hand, cover the carpet with texture (again, a combination of thin metal and plastic) are not only beautiful, but hidden abuse newspaper strips through the merger in the printed pattern. He does a good job hiding smudges and fingerprints compared to notebooks with the glossy plastic exterior. The IdeaPad U150 will probably be fairly typical user abuse ... but you might want to try to stand on this laptop.


Those who like to upgrade their laptops to spare parts (more RAM, a new hard drive, or SSD, or a wireless card again) is the U150 is extremely easy to update. Panel allows access to the hard drive and RAM, while a second panel allows access to the wireless card slot and Mini PCI-E. Not Found "void the warranty if removed" stickers explicitly within the notebook, but no stickers Lenovo covers the edges of RAM, Wi-Fi card and saw that the radiator can be used to indicate tampering.

Screen and speakers

The 11.6 "screen on the U150 was average, with color and contrast, viewing angles, but correct most thin and light notebooks with a clear surface. They are of lower quality TN panels, but this view makes little "pastel" colors on our test image. For standard tasks like web browsing or writing documents, you do not really notice the color change, but when viewing photos or watching a movie dull dark colors are "a bit distracted. vertical viewing angles are 10 degrees forward or backward when the colors start to show visible changes. Horizontal viewing angles are slightly better than the colors are essentially unchanged, except for very steep angles. The backlight works very well under the lights of the office, but the screen is not strong enough to overcome the reflections on the nature bright screen in direct sunlight.

The stereo speakers are fine for listening to streaming radio, or the occasional TV series, but the lack of good bass. Since the speakers are in front of the macbook pro battery audio output tends to blow when you use your laptop as a "portable". However, if the U150 is on the desktop and the sound bounces off the bench surface and the user. However, headphones are a much better solution to really enjoy music and movies from this laptop, thanks to low and low mid-range speakers. Another alternative is to use the HDMI output to transmit digital audio to a home theater system.

Keyboard and touchpad

Nearly full-size keyboard is very good at writing and is almost as good as can be expected on a laptop with a 11-inch frame. The spacebar is a "little small and the tilde key has been reduced in size, but all the keys feel as if they were the size it should be. The framers of our office is also shared by those who prefer the" style chiclet "keyboards that provide additional space between the keys and traditional keyboards, such as providing bigger keys. Frankly, I prefer the keyboard is largely a matter of personal taste, so be aware that there are 11-inch laptop with a traditional keyboard and notebook computers with Chiclet / island keys. The keyboard is quite stable and free from any further decline in heavy writing. Each button emits a slight "click-clack" when pressed and not too frightening for the typing class. Tortilleria key or key travel is minimal and each node is connected to the scissor mechanism below. In short, the keyboard of the U150 is one of the best I've seen in a 11-inch laptop.


The dell latitude d630 battery has a Synaptics touchpad is quite large and one of the most beautiful keyboard I've ever seen on a laptop of 11 inches. The texture of the plastic surface is a little rough, and provides good traction without a hard slide your finger across the surface. Speed and accuracy are great with the default settings and did not notice any lag in our tests cursor. Refresh rate of the touch screen is very good and avoids any "stuttering", as we saw recently in a few Synaptics touchpad. The acceleration of each axis is sufficiently sensitive and ensures that the movement of the cursor on the screen corresponds to the movement of your finger on the trackpad (touchpad unlike the Dell Inspiron 11z). The touchpad buttons are fantastic with a perfect deep, slowly stretches the action "click" when pressed.

Ports and Features

Port selection is surprisingly good on the IdeaPad U150. You get VGA and HDMI, Gigabit LAN, audio in / out and an SDHC card slot and three USB ports (two standard ports and a combo USB / eSATA). The eSATA port lets you use an external hard drive much faster on this laptop, and are pleased that Lenovo has used a combo USB / eSATA for customers who need to not use a USB and eSATA.

The front mount has a spring SDHC, and contrary to the card slot in most U350, the card slot allows the cable. When you insert a full-size SDHC slot the card is not exceeded. Do not expect to see a built-in optical drive on this laptop, so if you plan to reinstall the operating system or a DVD player, which includes a USB external optical. The keys of the media are limited to a mute button and a shortcut button to the room of Lenovo recovery "OneKey" software used to create a backup or recovery of a system failure.

Performance and benchmarks

System performance with Intel SU7300 CULV is very reasonable for everyday tasks like browsing the Internet, checking email, editing Microsoft Office documents, or editing, but basic. That said, we'd like to see SU7300, 1.73 GHz Lenovo overclock the same way and Alienware, ASUS has done with some of their latest laptops. Most programs take much longer to load or access to information faster Core 2 Duo SU7300, but offers the advantage of longer battery life compared to larger more powerful processors. Our test configuration has 4 GB of memory and a 320 GB hard drive fast enough, so this laptop is not slow like most netbooks based on Intel's Atom and packs enough performance to the user via PC.

HD Video Playback not reasonably well with the lenovo t400 battery integrated HDMI port lets you connect your laptop to your HDTV. That said, the U150 does not suffer from lag when we went to see the HD video, while multitasking with an Internet browser and Microsoft Office. As mentioned above, if the system includes a version of overclocking dual core processor SU7300, and the gap can not be a problem.

That said, here's a quick look at synthetic benchmarks so you can see how the IdeaPad U150 performs compared to other phones.

Heat and noise

While most of the external surfaces of the IdeaPad U150 has remained within the normal range, we find a hotspot near the system RAM in our review unit. While the temperature was not uncomfortable for short periods of use at the bottom of the laptop can be a bit 'too hot for some users, if you keep knees for over an hour to an hour. Noise levels were average for a machine this size, but the fan can get on your nerves if you're used to a laptop in complete silence. The U150 has a tendency to keep the fan running all the time, or if it is to maintain low temperatures to keep the processor within a certain temperature range. Fan noise was only slightly stronger than the noise level of a hard drive, but if you really like this course, far from a hair dryer in the background.

Battery

The battery life with 6 cell battery is good enough, and SU7300. In our testing, with screen brightness 70%, 7 Windows power profile to 'balanced', and the wireless system was active for 5 hours and 22 minutes before going into standby mode. Energy consumption during the test ranged from 9 to 10 watts. You can probably get more than six hours of battery life on this laptop, if you lower the brightness to 30% or less and turn off when not online wirelessly.

Conclusion

The Lenovo IdeaPad U150 offers a great balance between portability and performance with a combined value sufficient to satisfy most consumers. Compared with the same 11-inch ultraportable like the dell latitude e6400 battery, the U150 has a better keyboard and touchpad a modest price increase. On the other hand, the IdeaPad U150 looks a little "power and face the new Alienware M11x, which offers a more powerful graphics, a backlit keyboard, the addition of DisplayPort and a better quality of construction of approximately the same price.

In short: If you need an alternative based netbook IdeaPad U150 HDMI and eSATA probably also in your shopping list.

Lenovo ThinkPad X201 Full Review

The ThinkPad X201 is the new 12-inch ultra-portable Lenovo notebookfrom business. As an update to the X200 series, X201 latest Intel Calpella windows. One of the most interesting processors included in the new X201 is the new Core i7-640LM 32 nm dual-core CPU running at 2.13 GHz in check look at the range as the X201, X201, X201 and X201 Tablet and see how they compare with previous models.

Construction and Design

The ThinkPad X201 has the same design deliciously scary, ultra-portable business notebook on steroids, like all X Series notebooks before. At first glance it seems that all the other macbook pro 17 inch battery with a square frame and rubber-based paint, but much smaller. With the laptop open, we see that design is as small as possible without reducing the size of the keyboard. Keep the great keyboard part has little impact, however, as a short break in the wrist is too short to support most of the wrists with the fingers in a typing position. The X series is significantly lower than Lenovo's ThinkPad laptops, which still allows you to include a full-size keyboard design.


The build quality is great compared to most netbooks and small laptops CULV which was published in the last two years. So big is the counterpart of the T series, the X201 keeps the solid steel hinges of the screen, keyboard, ThinkPad durable sheets of durable plastic and alloy frame. The slim design includes a slightly curved screen and hinges feel "weak" when reduced, but this is relative. For a laptop of 12 inches from the X201 can be easily removed with little regard to break before or consumed before their useful life is over. Try to do the same with a maximum of consumption and less expensive than you do not like the results.


Keep the end user is always considered with memory and easy access to the hard disk. The X201 retains the sidebar to quickly exchange the hard drive and the lower deck to improve the system memory.

Screen and speakers

While the quality of construction that many of the region a1189 falls into the category is actually behind the screen. Compared to most brilliant displays of 11.6 to 12 inches now available in the new portable X201 and X201 consumer left behind panels ultra portable color saturation and contrast. Colors appeared pale and weak, while levels of black felt washed out. This seems to be the disadvantage of business notebooks. Vertical viewing angles are average with the colors begin to quickly return to the tilt of the display from 10 to 15 degrees forward or backward. Horizontal viewing angles are better with the colors remain consistent, even at sharp angles.

The screen X201 Tablet is a cut above the X201 and X201 and offers better color saturation and contrast. Viewing angles are also improved the investment of a minimum of color, even when it is tilted 45 degrees forward or backward. One problem we noticed in our review model X201 Tablet, even if the screen had appeared very warm (yellow / orange). This gave the appearance of an old screen and it was very pleasing to the eye.

The backlight brightness of the three laptops were very bright to be visible in an office. The X201 is the brightest of the group and is measured in his brilliant 250cd/m2. The second and X201 was measured at 232cd/m2 bright. The X201 Tablet is its bright 182cd/m2 achieved than others. If you use outside X201, Lenovo offers a high level of brightness of the screen outside X201 Tablet visible as an option.

Keyboard and Touchpad

Each of the ThinkPad X201 notebook new series of review, we offer the same keyboard as seen above in the X200. After the big change with the T410 and T400 we expected to see a consolidation of similar models with the X201, but it was not. Having said that the experience of writing is everything you expect from the ThinkPad brand of confidence. The size of the keyboard is 100% up to 12 inches widescreen, which is an improvement over the X61 a 4:3 ratio that had condensed on the perimeter of the keys on the keyboard. The writing surface has excellent support, almost without deformation under moderate pressure. The feel of each key is large with gentle strokes that emit very little noise when fully depressed. If you spend hours sitting at the computer keyboard to write in the ThinkPad hard to beat.

A brand new feature of the ThinkPad X series is a Synaptics touchpad on the X201 and X201 Tablet close. The X series has always had the limitation of being a crossroads onlywhich TrackPoint is huge for some users. With most buyers prefer the touch screen interface is easy to see the Lenovo X201 is added to help increase sales. The touchpad is small at first strange to see half the height of a normal touchpadbut get used very quickly. During the review process that favored the trackpoint and touchpad had no problem with it multi-touch gestures common. The touchpad has had an excellent response time without significant delay, and each offers the acceleration of each axis to prevent unwanted oval.

Ports and Features

The choice of the door has remained the same as previous models, with three USB ports, VGA, LAN, ExpressCard/54, audio jack and a modem. Lenovo memory expansion also includes a a1175 located on the edge of the support for the palms. I was really hoping to see some sort of digital video output, but it is a business model for users of most companies is still demand for legacy VGA projectors.

Performance and benchmarks

I must admit that when I found Lenovo was to attack a Core i7 processor in the X201 had the mental image of a gaming laptop or a 12-inch workstation. It was not the case that the Core i7-640LM included in our X201 and X200 Tablet dual-core processors are designed with efficiency in mind and not performance at breakneck speed. He also discovered that the low voltage Intel Core i7 is slower than the basic things testedmaking i5 even more confusion for the average consumer, who might be buying a laptop model number only.

Compared to Intel P8600 equipped X200 we reviewed over a year, we reviewed all the X201 has been given a significant boost in speed, including the new Core i7-640LM X201. The overall system performance rose from 30 to 50% in all areas, depending on configuration. 3D performance is increased from 63 to 106% with the new GMA X4500 HD integrated graphics processors. Users will notice that the GMA in HD processor notebook has low voltage Core i7 lowerat a clock frequency of 266 MHz instead of systems based on Core i5 500MHzthan similarly equipped.

If you rely on your laptop to your "office away from home", the latest platform offers high performance to satisfy most users. Multimedia enthusiasts will appreciate the 1080p video stream via Flash or download from YouTube decoding 1080p notebook with just a drop of sweat. If you find yourself wanting more power than the level of implementation of the plant netbook or laptop CULV can offer a 12-inch ThinkPad X201 could be the best alternative.

The heat and noise

The thermal performance of the a1185 is very good, even with the i5-540M. Under a load of keyboard and palm rest of light were a few degrees at room temperature. High temperatures in the system at full load, but "play" areas above and below the cell remained at reasonable levels. The cooling fan was heard in a quiet room, but only when the system is stressed. With our sound level meter in a room with a newspaper 31.5dB environment, which measures the fan at low speed to 33 dB, the average speed of 38 dB and 42 dB at high speed to 6 inches of contaminated air.

Battery

The battery life on all models we tested was excellenteven the X201 with Intel Core i5-540M processor and hard drive 7200 RPM. Each model was tested with the screen brightness set at 70%, wireless enabled, and Windows 7, with a balanced profile. Note that the X201 is equipped with a 9-cell battery, the X201 Tablet is an 8-cell battery, and the X201 is configured with a 6 cell battery. Our results are:

During the test, the X201 with Intel Core i5-540M and the 7200 RPM hard drive consumes between 7.5 and 8 watts of power. The X201 with Core i7-640LM consume 6.5 to 7 watts. The X200 Tablet is also the Core i7-640LM consume between 7.5 and 9 watts of power. If you want the perfect blend of speed and battery life of the X201 tested with 9-cell battery lasted 11 hours and 50 minutes!

Conclusion

The ibook g4 battery offers some solid the previous X200. Users who prefer the touch screen interface, you can now get on the X201 and X201 Tablet and netbook is smaller but still very useful. The latest Intel platform provides a big boost in terms of overall performance of the previous generation, and in some cases double 3D performance. Battery life is also increased in all areas, with the help of machine-sipping Intel Core i7-640LM processor. If you find yourself wanting more and a little "more than most netbooks and notebooks based on CULV have to offer, the Lenovo ThinkPad X201 includes a huge success in a small package.

AVADirect Clevo W765CUH Review

The new Alienware M11x laptop is the latest game from Alienware and Dell could be the best thing that can happen to the PC games this year. This little box is the first game impressive ultraportable with a less than five inches and weighing 11 pounds. If this does not interest you, you know it costs $ 799, as ... about the same price, less powerful 11-inch Laptop with Intel new low-voltage processors.

The Alienware Has Landed

Rarely am surprised by the announcement of a new laptop, but the Alienware M11x left me stunned and speechless, almost from day one. He never presented any manufacturer of an ultraportable that can play the latest PC games. We are not talking about Minesweeper or Solitaire, we're talking advanced games like Mass Effect 2 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The Alienware M11x allows you to benefit from these recent 3D games perfectly playable frame rate ... with a laptop that is small enough to fit on a shelf plane and still leave little room for a drink and a bag of peanuts.

The arrival of the M11x is quite similar to the form of a "perfect storm" in the world of laptops. Alienware engineers worked in secret to admit that the development of an economic game ultraportable for more than four years, but it took time for all this technology with the team from the imagination of Alienware. Laptop screens have been quite small, but has a high resolution at low prices. Multi-core processors need to be cheaper, smaller, consume less power and be powerful enough to handle most games. Graphics cards to become small enough to fit in a chassis ultraportable, and still deliver the performance needed to create 3D models of modern frame rates to play when running on battery.

Alienware Although personally criticized in the past too expensive to create, design too much, too heavy and especially the top gaming notebook, the team deserves much credit Alienware to create a game attractive ultraportable that no other company has that saw it coming. When Dell announced the launch of the new Alienware M11x at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January there was a competitor who has been trained for that ad.

The Alienware M11x is truly the first of its kind, but we hope it is the only block long. If you take a look at the Alienware section of our forums, you'll see a lot of people talk about the M11x. He did not just record traffic in the discussion forum after the release of the M11x, but we also had to take special measures to regulate traffic to avoid the large number of new visitors and regular members of the forum on this site below. If all traffic is an indication of consumer interest, it is better to believe that other companies advertise ultraportable gaming very soon.

Of course, gaming laptops are cool for school children and adults who enjoy spending time with a bloody first-person shooter, but because there is much interest in this little laptop? Much of the pleasure is what I said before: Until now, the brand is synonymous with expensive Alienware PC, games heavy. At the same time, however, Alienware has developed an awareness of their brand of "luxury" laptop custom players (or their parents) who can afford such equipment. The new M11x combines the functionality of customization and Alienware with the lowest prices you expect from Dell.

A starting price of $ 799 may seem expensive compared to a typical 15-inch laptop that starts at $ 500 or netbook sold under $ 300, but compared to the typical starting price for a gaming notebook (1200 $ or more) of the M11x is a godsend. Add to that all the personal touches added Alienware - such as laser engraving personalized plates here in the United States, or AlienFX software that allows you to change the color of LED-backlit keyboard - and you have the usual "" it costs about the same price as a normal 11-inch ultra-portable.

Construction and Design

Anyone familiar with the laptop Alienware other games in the immediate family should recognize the design of the new M11x. In many ways, the designers have tried to do this 11-inch Alienware laptop is a brother of the little 15-inch M15x and M17x 17 inches. Finally, the Alienware family has a "full range" ultra all the way for the massive desktop replacement. Much of the legacy that design is the style of Alienware machines. Many notebooks look almost identical when the eyelids are closed, but you can find an Alienware laptop across the room through the top with clean lines and a futuristic silver logo, alien head. Another important one is that Alienware is the free industrial setting, square. For better or for worse, the Alienware M11x magnesium alloy body looks and feels thicker than most portable 11-inch ... at least initially.


What I mean is that the M11x has a sharp edge like most laptops. Dell Inspiron laptops like the Lenovo Ideapad U150 11z or lose weight as it moves outward and thicker edges to the center of the laptop. The framework does Alienware M11x and engineers need space for the graphics card, the extra cooling, and battery. The built-in battery is also something to consider when talking about the thickness of this laptop. The M11x can often seem the height of 1.29 inches, but if you buy a Dell or Lenovo IdeaPad U150 11z 6-cell battery with a long life, is actually thicker than the Alienware machine.

The build quality is superior, thanks to the magnesium alloy construction combined with matte and shiny black plastic above the inner surface of the laptop. The exterior of the acer aspire 5920 battery feels solid as a rock, with just a slight curve on the back cover of the screen when pressure is applied. The keyboard and palm rest do not suffer a significant decrease, even under heavy pressure type. The M11x can easily handle everyday use and abuse is likely to suffer in the hands of hardcore gamers like throwing this laptop in a backpack. I hope that the serious players, do not throw this laptop on the floor after losing his life in a game, but if you lose the calm of the M11x is probably strong enough to cope. In short, this is the 11-inch portable hard drive that we tested in our laboratory. The quality of some rivals M11x easily create professional notebook that is labeled as "sustained activity".

Alienware Another essential element of the design is the use of custom LED lighting in key areas around the acer aspire 3680 battery. The first thing most people notice is the wonderful backlit keyboard and two front panels, but my favorite is the backlit alien head located above the keyboard. Using the software included on the M11x AlienFX this logo can be highlighted a number of different ways to alert the user of battery status. I put my light blue on the sector and in red when the battery. This is a good way to alert the user if the cord is accidentally disconnected during a match. Two other areas that are lit on the M11x is the alien head in the back of the screen and the inlet valve at the bottom of the laptop. These two areas, however, can not be configured with the software AlienFX - ventilation uses the keyboard illumination and even exotic head on the lid of the LCD screen lights up when the laptop is running.

Speaking of the bottom of the powerbook g4 battery, the M11x is so surprising, even from afar. The bottom panel is mostly flat and smooth with a speaker grille holes down stereo speakers firing, a custom label, and consumption of the cooling fan. If you are interested in improving the internal components of the M11x will be happy to know that all parties that the user is in a unique access panel to the bottom of the laptop. Access to the CPU, graphics, or the cooling fan is much more complicated, but honestly, most consumers do not have to go to these mechanisms.

The only reason why the hatch of the battery, hard drive, wireless card and memory slots with conventional screws for easy disassembly. It is also interesting to note that Dell / Alienware please use clip on all the screws ... So when you loosen the lower panel of small screws do not fall and get lost in the soil. Void the warranty if removed stickers found anywhere, even if there was a little yellow ribbon on the edge of the disk and battery. In any case, Alienware believes that the internal battery, hard drive, RAM and wireless card from scratch as you can. In addition, a one-year warranty on site to address the problems that occur during the first year and you can always buy the extended warranty service, if desired. In short, if you want to replace the battery or the usual update, then it is very easy to do.

Sony VAIO Z Reviews

Sony VAIO Z is the fastest and most expensive 13-inch laptop on the market.

Vaio Z 13.1-inch ultra-portable Sony system. Features such as Intel Core i7 i5 disk RAID0 array and display 1080p endless describe the 13-inch laptop, but Sony does not. VAIO Z also offers switchable graphics with NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M offer to create a solid game other low power consumption and more. This review has a view of the modestly equipped Sony VAIO Z and see how it compares with the competition.

Planning and building

Outside Sony VAIO Z is small and compact. The screen is a few millimeters thick and can be described as paper thin. The power button and DC input connector is integrated in the hinges on the screen, VAIO another common trend to enhance the appearance and use of space wasted on a regular basis. Inside, Sony is the way similar to what HP Compaq 6510b battery did with the MacBook with a new generation of keyboard bezel. Pad wrist rest and keyboard is a solid piece of metal with the Chiclet-style keyboard built into the surface. Available in different colors: black, silver, carbon fiber and metal shield, VAIO Z can be adapted to different personalities. All in all drawings Z notebook combines the best in laptops with the best ultra-portable in the company's high-end .I like it.

Build quality is very good, but I do not think I would go so far as to say that it is robust in any way. Super slim design has some weaknesses that can be broken down if the system has been abused. The screen has a paper thin margin of flexibility, but does not appear to change the screen when folded. The screen cover resists impacts without the pressure against the panel. If the system is accidentally dropped I do not think I will stay and tell ThinkPad ThinkPad, Lenovo and HP, but should be stronger than the average consumer laptops. In my daily routine was not aware of abnormal wear to finish and texture of the lid the screen looks very good to resist fingerprints.

Keyboard framework has worked very hard to prevent chassis flex and portable power. Even if the internal control laptops just found it in the top panel, VAIO Z gives the body much of its strength. After being removed from the bottom of the frame to see a lot of movement. Most laptops typically get their power from the internal frame or frames at the bottom.

Sony VAIO Z is not designed to be easy to use for updates. Just easy access to the notebook section of system memory. Other system components are available only when you completely disassemble the laptop and remove the card from all the top. Even with the top plate, most of the internal components, such as hard disk drives are unique in design and is not easily upgraded or replaced by the end user. With most of the SSD drive configurations over quantity, a large amount of system memory, high-end processors ... updates may not be in the minds of most homeowners.

The screen and speakers

Sony LCD screens have a special place in my heart when it comes to TV, monitors and notebook screens. Usually, pushing the boundaries of its high-end models and offer some of the most vibrant colors, better contrast and gives a good record all the others I saw on the market. VAIO Z is no different in this case with the HD + 1600x900 13.1 "screen. Compared to other screens I've seen in this dimension of Z is blowing the competition out of the water. The colors are stunning and glossy screen down to a difference of several wells for 100% and black levels are excellent. backlighting level was also very good, our measure of Gossen meters 321nit brightness to 100%. If you were to get a Blu-ray with its VAIO Z, you will not be disappointed when you watch movies from your laptop .


Another unique feature offered by the
Fujitsu lifebook t4010 battery 1080p panel. If you have a desire for high-resolution panel in the Small Form Factor, 13.1 "1920x1080 screen will not disappoint you. At the time of this review is a free upgrade option, it costs $ 100 more on a regular basis. I do not know if I spring to my eyes to myself can not kill me for this, but it is good to know that there is a possibility. Currently, the market is saturated with a WXGA panel great books, so it's nice to see at least some manufacturers are still people who need real support on the screen itself.

Sony VAIO Z on the speakers to a solid metal plate that is used for the keyboard and palm rest. Speaker size is quite small, not much bigger than postage stamps on each side. In our tests, we found low to mid-no, although the maximum volume levels are fine for small rooms. For gaming or listening to streaming, which should be enough, but the use of the handset will be the best option in this handset.

The keyboard and touchpad

Sony VAIO Z is the traditional / Chiclet-style keyboard with a white LED backlight. It is very comfortable to type on and is strong enough. I noticed some small flex on the keyboard directly to the top optical drive, but only under the pressure of strong typing. The keyboard is very easy to follow a good-sized buttons all over the world. No side buttons are condensed to go through at least the design. The arrow keys are spaced far enough from the other keys, so you do not accidentally hit something moving on the screen. Compared to the Apple MacBook keyboard is hard to say which is better, because they have the same design (except the essential differences between Windows and Apple). Regarding quality, I think the keyboard on the MacBook can be a bit "stronger, but only in the last unibody design.


VAIO Z is equipped with a Synaptics touchpad that supports multi-touch functionality. Controls like a pinch of film work, but Sony decided to chiral and sliding vertical scroll instead of the more popular two-finger scrolling. The touchpad is very sensitive, with a fast refresh rate and very good sensitivity. We did not notice the delay in testing and we had no problem with forced oval design, where a circular motion on the screen. The touchpad buttons are located on the edge Palmrest and easy to start with your thumb. Tactile feedback is shallow, with a faint click when fully pressed.

Ports and Features

Sony includes some auxiliary keys above the keyboard keys for the program and the possibility of quick access to Fujitsu fpcbp136 , the optical drive eject button (any button on the disk) and a graphical control of the selection. The button has three graphics mode, including cars, endurance and speed. Resistance is associated with the integrated graphics system, while the speed of the Radeon 330M graphics card. In addition to changes in a graphical way to change the profile of the power system to the previous settings in this mode. If you hold the plan in the Windows series of high-speed performance and energy savings to energy savings in mind will be remembered and automatically change this setting when you spend more.


Port selection was average for 13-inch notebooks, but still given to reduce the price of this laptop. The system is equipped with three USB 2.0 ports, VGA, HDMI, Ethernet and audio. Expansion slots include ExpressCard/34 slot, Memory Stick reader, a reader SDHC cards. While it is impressive to see the tray loading Blu-ray movie in this system, it would be nice to see some high-speed connection for external storage. Sony does not offer FireWire, eSATA or USB 3.0 on the VAIO Z, which seems appropriate, given the nature of the performance of this laptop. One feature I liked was the inclusion of a dock connector port at the bottom of the laptop. It includes four USB 2.0 ports, DVI and VGA, Gigabit LAN, and port adapter. Docking station is an option of $ 200 and not included in the laptop.

Performance and Benchmarks

Sony VAIO Z is a big success in a small package. Our configuration consists of three Samsung SSD drives for the RAID 0, NVIDIA GeForce 330M GT and ATI Radeon HD switching, 6 GB DDR3 520M memory and Intel Core i5. For a laptop with three 13-inch SSD is a big surprise when the three albums are usually reserved for portable games monster. In our tests the performance SSD line blew the competition away from the speed reading speed of 500 MB / s. In combination with 6 GB of system memory and Intel Core i5 520M laptop response was excellent. Start and end times are incredibly fast and busy to zero offset. Generally the whole interface feel more like an administrative ultra-portable laptop workstations.

3D performance was very good with NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M. Synthetic tests place the overall performance of Lenovo Y460 game in 5650 overclocked ATI and Alienware m11x CULV base power available GeForce 335M GT. With enough data settings in the game there is no reason why this system should be able to handle the latest games, provided that the maximum for each parameter. VAIO Z has had no problems playing Left 4 Dead 2 in its resolution of 1600x900, who earn an average of 42 FPS. My advice to Dell latitude d520 battery buyers to get a 1080p panel to make sure they do not operate at a higher resolution or frame rate will probably fall at least useful.

Wireless in the VAIO Z is great with the Intel 6200AGN Wi-Fi adapter card supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio data transmission up to 9.4 Mb / s over 5 GHz and 8.2 Mb / s 2.4 GHz in N -capable networks. Testing was conducted at a distance of 25 meters, with three walls with metal studs. Linksys router is connected to E3000 server with Ubuntu 10.04 Samba assigned to an active system to be tested. These correspond to speeds of 100 Mbps wireless internet, which is more than enough bitrate for streaming HD video from a source network or to quickly transfer data to another system.

Heat and noise

Sony VAIO Z holds the heat well enough, even if some parts of toast when the system is fully charged during the game. During normal operation of metal and plastic is not very hot, and the ventilation system is still very reasonable. Even the fan who needs to hear your neighbor's ear to the valve. When a player picked up speed considerably, while the noise level in the range of silence. Temperatures during this type of activity is also up, with an emphasis on forging close to the bottom of the blower housing. If you plan to use this laptop for games, the attack on a serving plate and use an external mouse.

Battery

Batteries not exactly peak VAIO Z, especially in speed. Stamina battery life is reasonable manner with battery storage area, but if you make a lot of traveling, we recommend getting a larger battery. Z has the stock 6-cell 57Wh battery, 84Wh battery options. In our battery test with screen brightness to 70%, wireless on and refresh the page every 60 seconds, and Windows 7 in the equilibrium profile, we managed to get 4 hours and 48 minutes VAIO Z before he died. During the test methods contain Compaq HP 6720s battery consumes between 11 and 13 watts of power.

Conclusion

Sony VAIO Z is one of the best 13-inch ultraportable in the market. Most systems in this class usually have some kind of failure, Culver slow processor, limited screen resolution, limited storage capabilities, or even the poor graphics card. None of this is the case VAIO Z, but at a price. At that time, starting Z $ 1,919 for the basic configuration (128GB SSD RAID 0, i5 540, 4 GB RAM) and go all the way up to $ 4,799 for the signature edition (512GB SSD RAID 0, i7 620M, 8 GB RAM , a 1080p display). At about $ 2,000, double what you would expect to pay for a mobile gaming system. You can get a lot of features for your money, but that's what you want in your notebook.

VAIO Z is equipped with a modern design with a super thin alloy plate Chiclet keyboard display with integrated keyboard, and still have room to install an optical drive. Build quality is a step forward and become very close to the consumer notebook business model. Sony is nothing new, so in a sense, you get the benefits of the reference price. Generally, the VAIO Z is not for everyone, but filling a market for entrepreneurs who need to project an image to customers, students with a big budget, and those who want a laptop with no compromises.

Lenovo ThinkPad L512 Review

The Lenovo ThinkPad SL 512 offers a good combination of power and performance for small businesses looking for a portable green.

Green is the new game in town for many manufacturers, and Lenovo has just released a new notebook designed to fill the ecological niche. The new L-series ThinkPad is a carbon copy of the previous series on SL, but with a huge increase in recycled materials. The L series offers up to 30% post-consumer, LED backlit displays and packaging greens, which occupies a space of less than 20%. If you are interested in a new laptop green, check out our full review of the new Lenovo ThinkPad L512.

Construction and Design

Once we got the new ThinkPad L512 of the box, it was like looking for the previous SL-series Fujitsu lifebook t4010 battery. (Insert link here) The two models are identical to the coverage of the texture, the contour of pavement, the design of the port and even the lower panels. Major upgrades are the latest content from recycled plastic and upgraded internal hardware.


The ThinkPad L512 is a consumer to take a robust, business-oriented ThinkPad T Series Unlike the EDGE series is actually a consumer-centric model, the ThinkPad SL series keeping the overall look of the series T with some modifications in design. In particular, the lack of black rubber paint around the frame, which was replaced with glossy black plastic. Some users of this type of finish maintains a clean look and feel from the rubber finish that can disappear with time. Inside, the rest lightly textured black plastic palm trees and keyboard surround, the T is replaced by the smooth plastic finish it, some users say it feels better on your wrist. The other big change is the change of one of the edges outside the square at an angle profile inclined towards the inside of the doors that roll on the side.


Quality of construction falls halfway between the ThinkPad T series and The Edge. The L512 15-inch frame seem to have as much flexibility as the edge 15, which we reviewed last month, but there were more similar in size to the set T. Fujitsu fpcbp136 saver is very good in the L512, which show no bias in the LCD screen with a lot of pressure applied on the lid. The screen has a collapse, but does not appear to have any impact on the screen. The hinges of the screen in our review model keeps the screen very well, without rolling, but the strength does not seem to maintain stronger than the other models. For example, if you were to go around with the screen open, without realizing it, you can change the angle of the screen open while moving.

Access to internal components is easy with three access panels on the underside of the laptop. On the far left, the small sign is used to install a bridge for the fingerprint scanner, the medium used for updates WWAN and a large sign on the right contains the processor, heat sink, memory system and the hard drive. One thing that bothered some was the lack of SIM card slot, WWAN, or soldered to the motherboard. Lenovo L512 L412 and currently as "integrated mobile broadband - upgraded" standard, but what we saw in our review model that can not be the case. The system also offers no wireless antennas indicate that the system pre-wired. If you use integrated WWAN, remember to ask the time of purchase or can be a big disappointment on the road.

Screen and speakers

The L512 features an LED-backlit matte WXGA resolution of 1366x768. Compared to most consumer shows that we have seen, the colors and contrast were slightly below average. For some business models, however, this could be considered normal. We measured the maximum brightness of the screen of 212 cd / m ^ 2, which is more than sufficient for viewing in bright outdoor office and at least partially visible. As long as you are not in direct sunlight, the brightness of the screen matte finish should be high when not in use. Viewing angles are good for about 15 degrees forward or backward until the colors begin to change or reverse. Horizontal viewing angles are better with the Dell latitude d520 battery remains easy to read between 60and 70 degrees.

Performance of the speakers was very normal for a laptop of 15 inches and scored lower than the consumer notebooks. Bass and midrange were very low, but volume levels are fine for a small room. The speakers are on, which is located directly below the screen does not lock when you put your laptop on your lap.

Keyboard and Touchpad

The keyboard is very comfortable to type and very similar to keyboards ThinkPad T Series The design was slightly modified, with a row of function keys instead of the two files can be found in most models. Tactile feedback is excellent keyboard presses, which emit a click when fully active very smooth. Multimedia buttons have been moved above the top line as seen in the T series on the left side of the keyboard. Lenovo is to provide buttons for the speakerphone, microphone mute, volume up and down.


Lenovo seems to have found a Synaptics touchpad on the L512. The above discussion has used the model SL510 ALPS touchpad, so it's a nice upgrade. The touchpad supports multi-touch gestures including tap two fingers, pinch, zoom, rotate, three prizes and three finger fingers movies. Sensitivity is excellent outside the box and once you "break" the surface of the touch screen, cursor movement is very fluid. Click and drag movements were clean, which can be a weakness with some touchpad, lowering his voice too soon or not. The L512 includes a pointing stick for those who are interested in using this form of navigation on the keyboard. We found the interface very attractive, with a minimum of wandering after lifting the stylus. Both groups of touchpad and pointing stick buttons are easy to use and offers excellent response. The keys have a very soft click with a long ball.

Ports and Features

Port selection on the L512 ThinkPad is quite good, with three USB 2.0 ports, eSATA / USB combo port DisplayPort and VGA and LAN. Expansion slots include an SDHC card reader and an ExpressCard/34 slot. Compared with the SL510, HP pavilion dv2000 battery has changed the HDMI connection in favor of DisplayPort. For users of home theater could be a great disappointment that DisplayPort is not using the same standard to transmit digital audio to a stereo or TV.

Performance and benchmarks

Lenovo ThinkPad L series around the latest Intel Core 2010, with the SL-attack to date updated Core 2 Duo processors. With the new chipset is even better than the Intel GMA in HD and give the L512 a rise of almost 50% in the 3D performance of the SL510 with integrated graphics X4500. Lenovo now offers a wide selection of Core i3 and i5 at L412 and L512 14-inch 15-inch set in our model with version 2.26 GHz Core i3-350M. Graphic options on models of 15 inch high definition is limited to only graphics GMA, the L412 comes with 14 inch optional ATI Radeon 5145 graphics card.


The L512 was accelerated in all areas compared to the SL510, including PCMark05, 3DMark06 and wPrime. The system had no problem playing HD movie trailers downloaded from Apple, including 720p and 1080p clips. Flash HD movies on YouTube also played without interruption or delay with the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. Office productivity software is not at all a problem for this laptop, your only limit is a great game, which really is not a consideration for most buyers in this market segment.

The heat and noise

The cooling system on the L512 is capable of maintaining the system under control. Under load, the system fan is audible but not intrusive in a quiet room. Under normal system operating at or near idle, the fan is off or very low speed. We found no significant hot spot in the main "touch" areas such as the palm rest or keyboard, which can be uncomfortable if it gets too hot.

Battery

Compared to the ThinkPad SL510, with a, 52Wh 6-cell Acer aspire 3610 battery, the new L512 has a slightly smaller battery with a capacity of 48Wh. That did not stop the L512 have a better battery life, due in part to improve the efficiency of the chip and display. In our battery test with screen brightness reduced to 70%, wireless enabled and update a web page always 60 seconds and Windows 7 on a balanced profile, the Lenovo L512 stayed for 4 hours and 5 minutes.

Conclusion

The Lenovo L512 offers some advantages to a fresh medium. And "one of the highest percentages of post consumer plastic and a new environmentally friendly packaging. That said, it would have been nice to see the same things that apply to one of the best instead of the ThinkPad SL series L-series based on respect for the environment, offers high performance would be a big draw for many consumers and businesses until the price is right. So it's great that Lenovo was able to increase the use of sustainable materials without significantly increasing the price, the order may be the most important application of the new philosophy throughout its range.

Fujitsu LifeBook AH550 Review

The LifeBook AH550 is a portable 15.6-inch desktop replacement Fujitsu. With a starting price of $ 749, the AH550 features an Intel Core i3-330M, 4GB of DDR3 RAM and a 500GB hard drive. The main configurations, dedicated graphics NVIDIA are also available, with an increase of $ 200. In this review, the LifeBook AH550 see how it compares to other desktop replacement 15 inch and if it is worthy of your next purchase.

Construction and Design

The Fujitsu LifeBook AH550 is finished in elegant black metal with chrome accents inside and out. The display cover has the front and center the Fujitsu logo and the name and logo on the small side. Inside, the palm rest, keyboard, cut and frame the screen sharing of the black metal finish with the same chrome around the touch screen and along the front edge. If all the stickers removed from the body of the notebook LifeBook AH550 think it would be one of the Toshiba satellite a105 battery smoother looking around.


Build quality is average compared to the current generation of consumer notebooks and other small business. Dashboards, including support for Palm and the cover screen has some flexibility, but nothing that stands out. Support for the palms, the section on the optical drive bay has some damage. Take your laptop around this point is bent upward from the bottom and inside the cavity of the optical drive open. The quality is very good with the paint finish taking tenderly to scratches and scuffs. Everything else is less plastic palm trees that blends well with the glossy black finish and can also hide any kind of abuse every day. Like most Fujitsu notebooks, this model also features removable air filter at the bottom.


Fujitsu provides users with easy access to the hard drive and system memory through two panels on the underside of the laptop. One area that may be a future problem is the way the battery is mounted with plastic clips instead of spring locks. If a clip has never been broken or lost battery and not get stuck in the system.

Keyboard and Touchpad

The LifeBook AH550 has a keyboard is very convenient enterprise-class easy to type on, and provides excellent tactile feedback. Support for the keyboard is excellent, even in the individual standings with stronger key mechanisms of the operation. Bamboleo was the key today, larger keys have been a smooth ride, despite the offset presses, which can sometimes cause crashes. The keyboard is spill pads at once robust and full-size. The measure was easy to get used to the difference in some models, not to reduce the number keys on the main section of the keyboard.


For a multimedia notebook, we were surprised to see the media dedicated keys or reused without any type of function keys. The only portable auxiliary button on the media key was next to the button.


The Apple macbook pro 15 inch battery included in the LifeBook AH550 is a medium sized model with some features multitouch ALPS. The sensitivity is excellent, and only the slightest delay in our extensive testing. During the movement along, click and drag the touchpad sometimes dragged clear of the point and block and move it to another icon. Changing the settings seemed to improve, but we never had this problem with Synaptics touchpad. Supported actions include moving axis pan, zoom and rotation appears. With the standard and scroll down, it also supports chiral scrolling action (circular) as an option.

Screen and speakers

The AH550 offers a choice of screen resolution for changes in integrated graphics and dedicated. Both systems include a backlit LED panel with a resolution of 1366x768 XGA. These days I wonder if the mid-range models do not offer a high definition display capable of 1600x900 resolution, especially if they are oriented media. The same rate group average with good color and contrast. The shiny surface of the screen helped make colors appear more saturated colors and better black levels. The screen was nice to see the conditions Smart Office, but with an ambient light level measured at 190 nits max, was not bright enough to see outside.


Speakers at the AH550 is located above the keyboard and his below average compared to other multimedia-oriented phones. Low and very small companies with inadequate levels of maximum volume, even for smaller mid-range environments. To listen to music or talk to someone using VoIP software that works very well yet, leaving much to be desired. Headphones or digital audio via HDMI, it would be better to listen to music.

Ports and Features

The Fujitsu LifeBook AH550 offers a good selection of ports including four USB 2.0 ports, VGA, HDMI, LAN and analog audio jacks. Expansion slots include a card reader compatible with Dell latitude d531 battery and ExpressCard/54 slot. The design of the back was filled with three USB 2.0 slots next to each other. This configuration can block other ports if you have a wide range of plug-in devices

Performance and benchmarks

System performance with the Intel Core i3-330M and the Intel GMA integrated graphics HD was excellent. The handset had no trouble answering the decoding of 720p or 1080p HD played locally, or play Flash video sites like YouTube HD. If you do not plan on gaming laptop, the current generation of integrated graphics is capable of handling anything you can throw at it. Users who attempt to break a "little more on your car, you can buy performance-oriented AH550 $ 949 which includes a fast Intel Core i5-430M 310M and GeForce graphics with 512 MB dedicated video memory. Another advantage of the improved model is much larger 8-cell battery.

Heat and noise

AH550 The cooling system had no problem to meet the Core i3 and HD integrated graphics GMA, but finished in the top compared to other models. System fan does not seem to scale efficiently between Compaq HP 6710b battery charges, is slow or down to rest and gradually increasing speed under load. From our point of reference, the fan rotates at high speed to remove as soon as the benchmark started, and off just as quickly once the reference is stopped. The noise level was high enough to be heard in a small office, in a quiet, even with the normal background noise.

Battery

The Fujitsu LifeBook AH550 comes with a battery of six or eight cells depending on the model purchased. The lowest setting, with integrated graphics comes with six-cell battery 43Wh, the highest setting, with a dedicated graphics card battery is no longer 75Wh. Fujitsu believes that the life of the six-cell battery for 3.5 hours and 5.25 hours to eight cells. In our battery test with screen brightness reduced by 70 percent Wi-Fi connection and update a Web page every 60 seconds and Windows 7 states in the equilibrium profile, the AH550 stayed for 3 hours and 15 minutes.

Conclusion

The Fujitsu LifeBook AH550 is a multimedia Compaq HP nc6120 battery with a fairly simple, minimalist look. The piano black shell and inside a long way to help the department, but does not have buttons on the media, speakers, large or high screen resolution options offered by other media mobile communication oriented in this market segment. Fujitsu has come a long way to improve the pricing model of its range of phones, but $ 749 might expect to see a small bump on duty when all the other parts begin to component level Intel . If this book had a screen resolution of slightly larger, even an optional 8-cell battery was standard input, it would be a good desktop replacement. In general, the AH550 is worth watching if you are looking for a stylish entry-spec laptop for under $ 800.

Lenovo IdeaPad Y460 Review

Lenovo has recently updated the Y Series line of laptops, adding that the 14-inch 15.6-inch Y460 and Y560 in the ensemble. These new models offer faster graphics options than its predecessors, with an ATI Radeon 5650 and ATI Radeon 5730 Y560 Y460 overcrowded. This review looks at the lower of the two notebooks, the IdeaPad Y460, to see how it compares to competition.

Construction and Design

The Lenovo IdeaPad Y460 seems new completely redesigned from the previous generation. The outer shell is a similar model of the black finish with an orange border, but now it is a big chrome hinges, instead of hiding before. Inside, above the keyboard bezel and white changed to a glossy black finish Compaq HP nc6400 battery covered with bronze. The interior of all whites in the old model was hard to swallow for most people and I think the new image is much better. Other design elements of new Y460 new JBL speakers on the screen and matte satin cover, and contributes only to hide his fingerprints.


Build quality is very good for a consumer notebook with durable plastic panels and the display hinges strong. Paint and plastic finishes seem to resist scratches and abuse rules cover only the plot does a good job of hiding fingerprints. Wrist rests and the touchpad has a good support sections with little or no damage. The keyboard on the other side has some damage on top of the optical drive, but you do not really realize until you try to enter your laptop in this section. The underside of the notebook is loaded with many the only means of cooling fans, which indicates that the system could be designed for a large amount of air flow under the load.


Users who want to upgrade components will be easy on the IdeaPad Y460. Lenovo has three access panels on the underside of the notebook, which contains the Wi-Fi, WWAN slots, hard drives, system memory, the processor and heatsink. A curious feature is the Wi-Fi can be accessed without using a screwdriver. The lid is secured with a latch, which I think is used to access the SIM card slot to access the bay. The other covers are in place by screws that hold the ring falls to unscrew the laptop.

Screen and speakers

The IdeaPad Y460 has a view option, a 14-inch WXGA panel. With its high-end graphics performance option and inspiration components that were kind of hope WXGA + (1440x900) and HD + (1600x900). The lower resolution panel, of course, cheaper than the price may be a factor, but I personally pay more for the option if you gave me. The rate of media panel with good color and contrast, but less than some high-end displays that can be found in an Apple MacBook or the like HP. A record level of backlight were measured a maximum brightness of 218nit, which is high for indoor advertising, but not really bright enough to see outside. Combined with the shiny surface of the screen is difficult to see out unless they have been fine with a little shade of a building or tree.

The IdeaPad Y460 has a competitive advantage in the 14-inch laptop when he comes on board speakers. JBL and Lenovo together to design the audio system of Y460 and easily fits in better than average for the category. You do not have the deep bass of a large notebook with a dedicated subwoofer, but the drivers do a good job in the JBL audio and media quality. The maximum volume levels are good for a piece of small and medium enterprises, which is ideal for enjoying a movie in a room or small office. Travel headphones are still highly recommended for use at home and suggest you use the HDMI connection to a stream of digital audio data to a home theater system.

Keyboard and Touchpad

Lenovo keeps the same keyboard layout in the Y460, with the main change from the previous model is the transition of all the white keys to all blacks. The keyboard is full size design with all the functions without a password in the top row number. Unlike many manufacturers these days seem to opt to take the road to act as a secondary function row, Lenovo kept the old standard. Another good design feature is the location and design of the Toshiba satellite p300 battery, in the end the page and page down to the keyboard. They are easy to find and very useful if you make a lot of work to an office productivity.

The keyboard itself feels very comfortable to type on, and requires light to moderate pressure to activate each key. Chiclet keyboard is almost comforting to see with most manufacturers take this route for newer laptops. The noise is minimal password each time you press a button emits a soft click when the key is fully activated.

The laptop also has touch media quick launch buttons below the screen. The most interesting button is a scroll bar that allows you to quickly launch one of eight programs of their choice. The bar is also used to activate other functions of Lenovo as a way to lock the screen, touch the screen changes, and exchange work.


Lenovo includes a large multi-touch enabled touchpad Synaptics Y460. Supports two-finger scrolling film, pinch, zoom, rotation, and three fingers. The touch surface is a glossy surface texture that matches the color of the palm rest and small dots printed on the end. The section on traveling with a single finger is defined with a sweet orange spots and the vertical bar. Sensitivity was excellent box, but need to be adjusted slightly downward, because he was too sensitive for my taste. The touchpad buttons are large and offer excellent results. Have a good trip and give off a slight click when fully pressed.

Ports and Features

Lenovo IdeaPad Y460 has a good selection of ports and HP g60 battery, making use of every inch of space around the perimeter. The system offers three USB 2.0 ports, an eSATA / USB combo port HDMI and VGA, Ethernet and audio. The system also includes a SDHC card reader, an ExpressCard/34 slot and a DVD burner. Out to include DisplayPort or FireWire me.

Performance and benchmarks

IdeaPad Y460 performance is simply amazing. IntelCore i5 combined with the ATI Radeon 5650 is capable of handling all that we met and still keep the frame rate in the big games. Given its size and weight that you put in front of the laptop like a MacBook Pro 13.3-inch, which blows most competitors out of the water.


When run in graphical mode the system relies on integrated Intel GMA HD can handle everything except games. For day to day is recommended to grind the system remains in this mode because it keeps the temperature low and the case is still ongoing decoding of HD video and other multimedia tasks with ease. HD movie decoding was a problem decoding 720p and 1080p trailers without breaking a sweat. Flash HD playback was another area that was not a problem for the IdeaPad Y460.


Returning IdeaPad dedicated graphics turned this into a mobile gaming platform supported by the ATI Radeon 5650. To test the operation is used to play Left 4 Dead 2 laptops running at the native resolution of 1366x768 with AA off and vertical sync on. The results speak for themselves:

Media images per second were right in what we consider a set soft and the territory in which many problems can start to ramp anti-aliasing. With AA as possible (and film grain), the system remains in the range of 60 FPS frame rate. The only thing missing from this laptop is a hard drive or SSD 7200, making it perfect and complete. Lenovo 5400 comprises a disc which is great for normal, but the system receives a boost in speed with a faster hard drive. Given the current retail price of $ 999 Lenovo still leaves much room for upgrades to the end user.

The heat and noise

Lenovo IdeaPad Y460 temperature profiles has two main components: a polite and friendly. With switchable graphics, integrated Intel graphics by defining the system as a whole is still relatively fresh and as hot as most laptops with smaller standard voltage processors HP pavilion dv2000 battery. Once turned in dedicated graphics mode things start to heat up, especially if you play. While playing Left 4 Dead 2, we observed a significant increase in outlet temperature on the left side of the keyboard and the bottom of the chassis near the pool. The photos were taken immediately after 15 to 20 minutes of play:

Much of the fund was greater than 110 f and located in small punctate spots. With him in the womb is certainly feeling the heat in the legs and hands. Taking into account the thermal requirements of the Core i5 and ATI Radeon 5650 in a small car, I'm not sure that the result would have been different in another set of 14 inches. With the amount of energy available to think that most people are interested in a gaming laptop 14 inches to a small amount of heat to the impressive framerates.

Battery

Lenovo IdeaPad Y460 has the advantage of the graphics selectable when it comes to battery life. For those occasions when performance is not a system problem, the user can change the mobile graphics integrated in their environment and save energy. We tested the Y460 two ways to see how the gains of users, while locked in integrated graphics mode. With the screen brightness down to 70%, wireless enabled and update a Web page every 60 seconds, and Windows 7 with a balanced profile Y460 lasted 4 hours and 52 minutes. The same test with the laptop closed in dedicated graphics mode only slept two hours and 59 minutes.

Conclusion

For fans of the mobile games market is beginning to be loaded with many options. At that time one of the most popular is the Compaq HP 6710b battery , which has its own in most games, but still a bit of CPU power in the department, despite its latest range of low voltage Intel Core processors. The Lenovo IdeaPad U460 offers the power of a 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 and an ATI Radeon 5650 graphics card in a system that weighs less than 5 pounds (about a pound heavier than the M11x).


The performance of the game was suspended with the Radeon 5650, the management of Left 4 Dead 2 with full settings and still get a rate of more than 60 FPS. Synthetic is also very high, well above other systems of similar size. When not playing with the system receives about five hours of battery life when you set the mode integrated graphics, which is good enough for a laptop with a 14-inch six-cell battery. In general, for a price of $ 999 could not be happier with the Lenovo IdeaPad Y460.

ASUS K42J Review

A solid student laptop with good performance, but nothing that stands out.

K42J ASUS is the latest K-series of laptops at affordable prices. This 14-inch laptop has an Intel Core i5 performance graphics with NVIDIA Optimus, and a starting price below $ 900. This is the perfect back-to-school laptop? Read on to find out.

Design and construction

K42J Notepad has a traditional design and is similar to the previous generation of ASUS K40IN. In other words, a coffee brown Compaq HP 6710b battery seems pretty boring, without much flash. The phone has a black mixture of matte, semi-gloss black plastic and shiny brown and black and brown. All corners and edges are rounded to give the laptop a more consistent look, texture and the touch pad and palm rest K42J give a nice feeling. The cover of the glossy screen has a slim design that replicates the pattern printed on the palm rest, but overall, we're talking a very clean, portable, simple.

The quality of construction K42JC-A1 is typical of most consumer notebooks look at ASUS. The total strength of the image is good, with no specific areas of plastic bending and cracking. The interior is resistant to pressure very well and the hinges of the screen provides a good balance of strength (not too hard and not too slow). The back cover of the flexible screen, under pressure, but it is also important when pressure is applied to the back of the screen there are no wrinkles or distortion evident on the screen.

The bottom of the laptop includes two access plates for the RAM and hard drive. ASUS engineers carefully, of course, I understand that most consumers buying a laptop as a consumer is not updated much (or anything) beyond the RAM and hard drive. Yes, I prefer to have greater access to internal components of the laptop, but most people buying this laptop, you probably do not care.

Screen and speakers

The K42JC-A1 has a diagonal of 14-inch LED-backlit display and a ratio of 16:9. The overall quality of the screen is the "very good" in a limited viewing angle sweet. Brightness, contrast and color are good enough. If the problem should be clear that the narrow vertical viewing angle. While horizontal viewing angles (side view) are almost perfect, the colors become more exposed when viewed from above and significantly reversed and distorted when viewed from afar. If you use the notebook to draw the exact color is needed to ensure that viewing the screen head on. The backlight is also a little irregular, with light from the bottom of the screen on our review unit.

Resolution 1366x768 screen resolution is standard for consumer Dell latitude d531 battery. The horizontal resolution is adequate, but only 768 pixels of vertical space means "a lot of movement, while browsing the Internet and enough space to display half a page in a Microsoft Word document.

The Altec Lansing speakers K42J has been at the palm rest at the edge of the laptop. Despite the Altec Lansing brand, these speakers have a sound quality. Vocal sounds distorted and muddy, and the result is weighted heavily to the high uncertainty, little or no respect. If you want excellent audio output of this laptop is really considered the external speakers or headphones. The headphone jack allows a large, static-free alternative for connecting the speakers.

Keyboard and touchpad

The full screen keyboard Chiclet-style keyboard K42J key features that are sensitive and offer a little more espacio''para avoid mistakes. The keys are large and flat and have an opaque structure, which can take time. No No noticeable decline unless significant pressure applied to the key on the table. One press are quiet with the noise of the sweetest possible "couch" in the strikes, which makes it nice for taking notes in a meeting room, classroom or office. The keyboard has dedicated multimedia keys, arrow keys, but the keys of the media when used with dual function key.

ELAN The touchpad is a mixture of good and evil. The textured surface provides excellent traction of the fingers, but the touchpad suffers from the obvious mismatch. This is a multi-touch touchpad with customizable gestures, but the answer is an improper use of the touch screen less than ideal. The lack of a dedicated roll is also boring. The touchpad buttons have a very superficial answer with a few clicks sound when buttons are pressed.

Ports and Features

The Apple macbook pro 15 inch battery is a step forward compared to previous series portable K in terms of port selection. The K42JC-A1 adds that both need a HDMI port, but still sees the addition of an ExpressCard slot for this future-ready computer portátil''poco more. An ExpressCard slot allows easy upgrade to USB 3.0 K42J ... an important feature, because USB 3.0 is starting to show more and more portable. All descriptions are from left to right image.

Performance and benchmarks

The K42JC-A1 provides a good overall performance, combining i5, 4GB RAM and 500GB hard drive faster. The discrete NVIDIA GeForce 310M also help applications that support CUDA, using the GPU for faster performance. The key is that this laptop is no longer able to manage daily activities and even the most demanding applications such as Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Premiere.

The Intel Core 430Mprocessor i5 and i5 is one of the low level provides only a modest increase compared to the models used in the Dell Inspiron 330M Core i3 14 (1464). However, overall performance is pretty good for a 14-inch laptop in this price range.


Toshiba satellite a105 battery GeForce 310M graphics performance is perfectly possible to play FPS games online puzzle or old, but do not expect to play new games like Mass Effect 2 and Modern Warfare 2. That said, the graphics are strong enough for the play of light and CUDA compatible graphics help speed up some applications. Thanks to Optimus Nvidia, this notebook will automatically switch between integrated Intel graphics card (for long battery life) and Nvidia dedicated graphics (for better performance in games and video). You do not have to worry about an extra button to press to get the most out of your laptop.

Heat and noise

The K42J does a great job of managing the heat and noise. Fan speed auto-adjustment, in general, far below what can be heard in a quiet room, and the system stays cool to the touch everywhere except the waste heat (which must be included). The only time we have found high levels of heat was when he said that the laptop with the close game, and even then, the hot spot was just the heat escape.

In short, if you want a laptop powerful enough to not get too hot, ASUS K42JC-A1 could be a good option.

Battery

In the balance mode with screen brightness at 75%, the K42JC-A1 lasted four hours and three minutes while browsing the Internet and use a word processor. This is good enough for a laptop with a battery store, but we are seeing more Dell xps m1730 battery with this level of performance to deliver five or more hours of continuous operation, so you should call this "medium". Of course, if you use applications that stress the processor, hard drive and Nvidia graphics, then you can expect the life of the battery drops even lower.

Conclusion

K42J ASUS offers a good balance of quality construction, solid performance and a good set of features. The Intel Core i5, Optimus NVIDIA graphics technology, and a hard drive to make this one of the most beautiful in the traditional 14-inch laptop we've tested. However, the design environment, a display means and the average life of the battery can result in lower sales during the season back to school shopping.

In summary, the ASUS K42JC-A1 is a publicly owned and portable, ideal for students or the general use of the house, but there is not much that stands out that makes this phone more attractive to consumers.

HP Mini 100e Review

The HP Mini-Note netbook is training 100 with a carrying handle single body shell mounted, and the frame incredible strength.
The HP Mini-Note is one hundredth latest education-oriented netbook to hit the market, designed exclusively for school and break the rules of consumer channels. This model has a unique folding design with integrated handle and strong body. In this review, see how it compares with similar models, including Dell Latitude 2100, so you can decide if the netbook is ideal for your school.

Design and construction

The HP Mini seems 100th Unlike most netbooks currently on the market. HP has started from scratch and fresh team is super strong, easy to use and easy to carry. From top to bottom this netbook is designed for abuse committed by a child, day after day, and continue working as expected. The 100th Mini has a white plastic outer shell and a very consistent color palette in the Dell latitude d520 battery. The same plastic that is outside of the netbook is everywhere inside, including the surface of the touch screen and the frame of the screen that the system of a highly industrialized. If you are looking for a netbook designers, look elsewhere. It has a carrying handle on board are all about function over form, eliminating the need for external boxes to complete the system. Everything in this system is designed for school administrators please be easily repaired to be easy to store, at the end of the day, when school lets out.

The body of the Mini 100 is a durable plastic that seems to be more comfortable in a rugged notebook, rather than a netbook. When the system is an open space around the screen keyboard of any slowdown. The palm rest was rock solid with the keyboard alone and ends near the display hinges. Even the hinges are very strong, completely without hesitation, and the display remains sealed when the system is closed. Even the keyboard seems to be a cut above what was found in standard laptop with a trademark symbol instead of each being printed on the surface of the keys.

The HP Mini 100 is very easy to upgrade, although we were surprised not to see any children deterence mechanism to prevent tampering by students. With the battery, the two screws that hold the cover in place is revealed. Once the cap falls to access the wireless card, hard drive and system memory. The hard disk has a protection against impacts by small partial rings that isolate the unit from the chassis, so perhaps in a fall during the classes. In general, one can say that this netbook is one of, if not the easiest to update the model on the market.

The screen and the President

The Mini 100 is screen resolution of 1024x576 LED-backlit panel, which is a standard feature on most consumer netbooks. Users who try to write long documents or Web pages show the latest in some of them might be more horizontal scrolling, but like anything that can be found in other Fujitsu lifebook t4010 battery. The screen was easily visible under bright fluorescent lights, the office, even with brightness turned down slightly. With our May Gossen light meter measured a maximum brightness of 207 nits and a contrast ratio of 140:1 of the media. The screen has a matte finish that helps reduce glare in most conditions, although it was not enough for use outside the system, because the screen was not strong enough to overcome the sunlight. The color quality is average when compared to other netbooks matte finish and very nice to see, edit or create images.

System users seeking high-quality sound in a netbook should perhaps look elsewhere, like the Mini 100 is labeled as a mono speaker. Compared to other netbooks, it is difficult to say whether it has made a significant difference to eliminate the second speaker, but like most of the low and medium systems were lacking altogether. The maximum volume levels well to listen to presentations or videos from YouTube, but if you enjoy music or a movie, the connection of headphones is the preferred method.

Keyboard and touchpad

The keyboard feels very strong Mini 100, maintaining a level of comfort that consumers want a netbook. The buttons seem more solid than it is in a netbook or laptop when you are drinking. The most important was recorded instead of printing labels, meaning that they do not disappear with time. The keyboard tray set to zero deformation at high pressure, which indicates excellent support from below. I found a 92% size of design to be comfortable to write, but if the opportunity, I'd probably choose a standard laptop for extended typing sessions. Little hands can not have this problem though. The indicators for caps lock, volume, mute, and wireless on / off switch are integrated into the keyboard function keys designated.

The touchpad is a Synaptics model, roomy without multitouch functionality. The control panel contains zones touch pad gestures, but all are gray indicates that the features are disabled in hardware or software. The touchpad is very sensitive, even with a touch of slightly textured surface. The surface is made of plastic like the rest of the body netbook and it was very easy to navigate with very little friction. The touchpad buttons are easy to ignite with a deep regeneration, soft launch when pressed. The noise is minimal, so you do not have to listen to hundreds of button on the touch pad in a class full of these little netbooks.

Ports and Features

TheHP Compaq 6510b battery has a good selection of songs, including two USB 2.0 (one on each side), VGA, LAN, modem, headphone / microphone, and an SD card. Most netbooks currently on the market include three USB ports, but considering the target market education, most students will probably not be a lot of connecting devices to the netbook. Another interesting feature is similar to the Dell Inspiron 2100 is a network activity LED at the top of the top of the screen, which allows an instructor to check if students are surfing the Internet in the classroom.

Performance and benchmarks

System performance was compared to average of other models in the netbook market for consumption. The Mini 100 is powered by an Intel Atom N455 with a clock speed of 1.66 GHz and GMA 3150. Apart from the local HD playy decode HD video streaming or flash, the system had no problems with normal activities. Office productivity software, or in the classroom was not a problem for 100, making presentations or writing class work a breeze. This netbook is the first operating system pre-installed Microsoft Security Essentials for protection against viruses, which took place in the background. Compared with other AV packages are endless applications for the user or pop-ups, in fact, went unnoticed for a couple of days.

Heat and noise

The system noise is minimal, with the energy efficient Intel Atom processor and integrated graphics. Temperature, even at full load and the body just increased fan speed is still modest. At rest or the use of light was intermittent HP Compaq nx6125 battery and cools quickly after cooler. When you run the fan noise was a little less than a whisper, and was not heard if my head was near the port of discharge.

Battery

The HP Mini 100th can be configured with three or six cells, with our particular model comes with three cells. With a capacity of 26Wh measure does not expect to see a record that is in ASUS 1005PE (which received more than 12 hours in our tests). When the screen is reduced to 70% brightess, wireless active and updating a web page every 60 seconds, Windows 7 and 100th Mini equilibrium profile remained for 3 hours and 55 minutes. In this test system consumes between 6.7 watts on average. We expect to double about the battery life goes with the 6 cell battery.

Conclusion

The HP Mini-100 is one of the most attractive netbooks seemed a long time. With a design reminiscent of the original OLPC body with a built-in command, and carrying handle, the 100th Mini was designed to be very robust and easy to use. We found that the body is very high with very rigid and almost as stiff as a durable notebook. The keyboard and touchpad are more durable than the average in the consumer Sony vgp-bps13a, which should take the daily abuse of a class.

The system was designed to be easy to maintain from the computational point of view, all the pieces that easy access by simply removing a panel at the bottom of the frame. Overall for a netbook designed specifically for the education market, I think HP has done a great plan that should be kept for years without any problems.

Toshiba Satellite T235 Review

It seems that a lot of budget price 13-inch notebooks on the market for consumers looking to find the perfect balance between mobility, performance and price. T230 and T235 Toshiba Satellite series notebooks offer a range of possibilities that could contribute to this laptop only to find a place in your home ShoppingList. We took a step closer to the satellite T235D AMD if this laptop has a very impressive value.

Design and construction

T230 and T235 Toshiba Satellite HP pavilion dv2000 battery series is an update of last year, T130 and T135 phones. These portable 13-inch thin and lightweight, designed to offer consumers a stylish alternative to laptops with better performance and larger screen for a modest price increase. Toshiba maintains the profile of an inch thick, the USB ports on the side of the laptop, but mainly by reducing things such as the ExpressCard slot and optical drive. For the average user, this laptop has all the advantages of an ordinary computer - high-resolution display, full-size keyboard and dual-core processor - but not the mass. The combination of black and silver plastic T235D give a very modern, but we were especially impressed by the durability of chrome mirror finish around the keyboard. In our drop test standards (droping the 12-inch laptop on the table), we noticed a small piece of the picture of the laptop. A "say with certainty that if the term can not survive a fall of 12 inches on the tape can not be sustained and severe abuse.


Cover the screen of our review unit "to complete the merger Gemini Black Chrome", but also provide Toshiba with a red cap. Despite the fragility of frame design and the ultimate goal, the overall quality of the build-T235 series notebook is very nice. Unlike some thin and light notebooks we looked at other companies, flexible plastic, and cracks are minimized in T235D. The screen cover feels durable and do not suffer a lot of bending under pressure, even when used on the front plastic screen is prone to scratches. In short, although the overall structure of the T235D is a solid, stylish exterior, the Dell xps m1730 battery does not have the capacity for normal use and abuse in a backpack or briefcase school office. Although the glossy finish on the body more resistant to scratches constantly needing to clean fingerprints and smudges, if you want to keep your notebook looking new.

If you are interested in improving the internal components of T235D was pleased that the system memory and hard drive is easy to detect only the lid at the bottom of the laptop. Toshiba, which is easily updated with one screw to provide access to the board. Remove the Phillips screw and have access to the hard disk and RAM. We were a bit "stiff as a wireless access card is not so simple. However, given the low purchase price and the target is likely to T235 owners bother trying to exchange the wireless card. Warranty Void if removed stickers are everywhere, so be sure to share the building blocks without compromising the warranty. In this sense, Toshiba offers a one-year parts and labor for work and one year warranty Compaq HP 6710b battery.

The screen and speakers

13.3 "LED-backlit by T235D appears to be identical to screen used in the T135 and T135D. The colors do not look as saturated as the screen on the line last year, but the contrast ratio is still below the average level of light is very black and 182: 1 contrast ratio test lab. horizontal viewing angle is good for at least 45 degrees on both sides before you begin to notice color distortion. vertical angles of vision are below average, and the screen becomes more exposed or colors after the move the screen 15 degrees forward or backward. luster is usually good enough for use indoors in bright light or outside the shadow of the office. glossy screen makes this a reflection of a problem if you try to use an external monitor to direct sunlight.

The President is below the average production of the maximum volume is not loud enough noise filled the great hall meeting withn clear. The maximum amount of this laptop is more like what we expect when we create multimedia notebooks to 50 percent in volume. Part of the problem is placing the speakers on the bottom front of the laptop ... This means that the sound is directed down and away from you instead of your ears. Another problem is the small size of the speakers themselves. Toshiba just did not put the speakers in this notebook impressive. If this is your computer just to listen to your music library, I recommend buying a good pair of headphones.

The keyboard and touchpad

The major changes between T235 T135 last year and this year is the keyboard. Satellite T235 has a Chiclet keyboard style or the style of the island with more space between each key. In theory, the less frequent errors, but in practice we found little difference. I was personally a big fan of the keyboard on the T135 series notebooks, so I was a bit "sad to see the new keyboard on this model. On the positive side, the keyboard is comfortable to type and type of solid support provides an excellent even under pressure. Individual keys are flexible action sensitive, and each key has a flat surface. cone noise is minimal, but strong "click clack" sound as you type. consumers considering the purchase of a Dell latitude d531 battery writing long documents or notes during class should have no problem with this keyboard. palm is pretty much the perfect size for an adult-sized hands between people and wrist support without creating additional stress points as you type. However, the right palm is suffering from a small amount of bending under pressure.

Synaptics touchpad works well, and after the update rate of the driver update seemed fine. The touchpad is a pleasure to use. Most of our testers agreed that the laboratory can slide your finger across the surface of the touch screen. The touchpad buttons are covered in the same chrome reflection fagile money and do not offer much in terms of comfort. Pressing a button is very shallow with an audible click when pressed. Luckily, the touchpad buttons have been improved after a series T135 and keys to respond to any pressure, no matter if you press the touch screen, near the center and margins.

Ports and Features

Port selection was pretty good compared to laptops and netbooks ultraportables, but we've come to believe that all portable computers (laptops, even though the consumer price of the budget) should have at least one USB 3.0 port. USB 2.0 is fine for now, but we are seeing more and more accessories that can take advantage of USB 3.0 portable and must keep pace with time. T235D has three USB ports (one is a combo eSATA / USB), HDMI and VGA, LAN, audio jacks and a Kensington security slot. Expansion slots include the only 6-in-1 card reader SDHC compatible.

Performance and Benchmarks

We found a dual-core 1.5 GHz AMD Turion II Neo K625 deliver solid performance on this laptop. Although the latest generation of Intel processors provide the numbers for most of the synthetic low-voltage performance in real life, so powerful Intel Core i3-T235D tm2t 330UM HP Pavilion. Although the Pentium II processor Neo K625 is good, we are especially pleased to see how it behaves with T235D ATI Radeon HD 4225 integrated graphics. The short answer is that this laptop offers a video and perform significantly better than phones with built-in Intel graphics card games.

The latest generation of Intel integrated graphics work best when it comes to basic games like World of Warcraft or more sets of first-person shooter. Also, compinions dual-core processor and ATI graphics cards, such as Netflix videos a lot more fun than a netbook based on Intel's Atom.

In terms of day to day activities, it is fair to say that most consumers do not notice much (if any) performance difference between the T235D and T235 U5400 based on Intel Pentium. That fact alone probably means that consumers are more cautious you should take into account the T235D based on AMD because it is $ 30 cheaper than Intel T235. Overall efficiency of multitasking and to run applications with T235D is fast and responsive.

The only problem we encountered in our laboratories and high performance has been outstanding amount of bloatware that Toshiba is installed on your system. It is clear that Toshiba satellite a105 battery wants to make life easier for consumers who are not comfortable with modern technology, but plenty of pop-up with Windows, which indicates the recording, the security settings of your hard drive, wireless settings, and just down the road. It is impossible to give an accurate measure of the delay, but it's safe to say that the pop-up bloatware often draw attention to a few seconds when you try to do something else.

HP ProBook 4425s Review

Compaq 4425s is a portable version of small and medium businesses popular with HP AMD. Designed as a copy of his brothers and sisters 4425s Intel quad-core Phenom II has built-in ATI Radeon 4250.

Planning and construction

HP Compaq 4425s is a very clean and professional, brushed metal body with plastic. The current generation of Compaq panels are made of copper or dark bronze, and are available in all sizes, including models of AMD and Intel. Compared to first generation models with plastic is not displayed on the outside, the new design looks great and increases resistance to the Fujitsu fpcbp136. Polished metal finish is used throughout the notebook, including the top of the screen, wrist, and the speaker grill. To complete the order, not the metal surface covered with glossy black plastic, adding another touch of class to this elegant small mobile business.


Build quality is very good and a step away from the old model. Brushed metal cover gives a bit of strength 4425s, and a protective plastic screen cover in previous generations lacked ProBooks. The wrist and grill the president to show little or no flex under pressure, you may feel more strongly that the brothers of 15 inches or 17 inches. Keyboard tray has a certain flexibility in less pressure to avoid any problem in the more expensive models, the HP Pavilion. The frame looks and feels much better than the EliteBook series control first, but it was not until after the mobile professionals who use the league as a main ingredient.

Customers wishing to replace the component stirred a little fast. To access the processor, hard drive or memory system, which must be completely disassemble the Compaq 4425s. This HP businessnotebook SMEs have opted for a centralized support and maintenance, with very little work to end users. In terms of appearance, giving a clear view of the bottom, without access panels, but in terms of difficulty, which adds a lot of work to discuss the components. To open the system, remove the four screws under the Fujitsu lifebook t4010 battery, remove the speakers from the free throw, remove the four screws that hold additional keyboards in place, slide the keyboard up. This gives you access to system memory. To remove the hard drive and more than three screws holding the wrist rest in place, carefully slide the right to publish your clips. After being removed only to take more than three screws that secure the hard drive in place, and remove it (more than four screws holding in a cage). To upgrade to the Compaq difficult or confusing to say the least.

Ports and Features

Port selection on the Compaq 4425s laptop is very good for small and medium enterprises, with three USB 2.0 ports, eSATA / USB combo port HDMI and VGA, LAN, modem and headphone / microphone. Laptop is also ExpressCard/34 SDHC card slot, and for future expansion.

The screen and speakers

HP Compaq 4425s is a 14-inch WXGA panel (1366x768) with a matte texture. The LED-backlit display is color and contrast, on average. In our lab tests that measures the average difference 149:1, brightness up to 166 eggs measured in the center of the screen. The black levels are average of professionals, and show no signs of backlight bleeding at the edges. We also found no dead pixels on our review unit. The color saturation is the average for business notebooks, but short compared to some of the new consumer notebook with glossy cards. Somehow we need a compromise between the HP Compaq 6510b battery seem more comfortable and contrast, and glare and reflections on the glossy screen matte. Vertical viewing angle are average, with the colors start to reverse when the screen is tilted 10.15 degrees forward or backward. Horizontal viewing angle of color is best to stay faithful to about 50-60 degrees before the screen started to appear dark.

Compaq 4425s has stereo speakers mounted on the keyboard to the left and right of the button. Portable Speakers for professionals are ranked just above average, with clear high notes, and some media. Low frequency tones were not present at all, but many laptops without a subwoofer that is common. For users who want to experience some advanced audio, the laptop has a headphone jack and digital audio output via HDMI.

The keyboard and touchpad

Full-size keyboard is easy to get into the HP Compaq nx6125 battery and very comfortable for long typing sessions. Each key is relatively flat with a nice texture and matte keys sit on the gloss black frame support. The frame around the buttons are pretty solid with the chassis design, which adds further support for the keyboard. Some keys are quiet, no loud click as you type. The depth of each key is excellent, although some people do not like to eat in May, chicklet-style keys. The total space and the chosen design for the HP 4425s is very nice for a laptop of 14 inches, without a feeling of tightness of the buttons more.

Touchpad on the latest models of the ThinkPad button less Synaptics ClickPad. In our tests, the touchpad worked fine, with frames of great sensitivity. We will have a strange, if supported his finger on the touchpad, which is defined as the area to the right and left. While the finger is at rest in that area, the cursor movement would be incoherent and agitated. If you lift your finger on the touchpad, the abnormal movement is stopped and worked fine. During normal operation, the touchpad works well for multitouch gestures to float on the lower edge of the touch screen.

Performance and benchmarksN

HP Compaq 4425s AMD's Phenom quad-core equipped with a clock speed of 1.6 GHz P920 II. This configuration is used to meet or approach, at least performance and i3 i5 models are equipped with Compaq. In terms of overall system performance, it was a "little disappointed, pending the results much higher than what we recorded. In normal everyday use of the system works well when most of the software included with HP is not installed. Sony vgp-bps13a lag "bloatware" due to any action of the box. Windows boot time and application loads quickly helped drive a 7200 unit that comes standard.

ProBooks Compared with Intel and Intel integrated graphics, AMD Phenom quad-core II ATI 4250 integrated graphics has fallen behind in all our synthetic benchmarks. Compared with the Compaq 4520s, which is very similar to the scores have been slower PCMark05, 3DMark06 and wPrime. He also noted that every test has more power in relation to larger systems, Intel. Even if the contract of AMD quad-core of the current generation of Intel dual-core, is still struggling to keep pace.

Acer Aspire 1830T Timeline X Review

A well balanced notebook with good battery life and the touchpad is not as good.
If you want a netbook costs due to the size and incredible battery life, but you need a better video performance multitasking and offers a cheap netbook Acer Aspire 1830T can be the perfect laptop for you.

Design and construction

Acer X Series is the latest generation of thin and light notebooks designed for Acer to deliver solid performance and long battery life in a surprisingly lightweight package. At first glance, is easy to confuse the Acer Aspire 1830T a dozen people have shown in recent years. It seems, however, can be misleading.


Build quality is quite good, despite the small size of this laptop. The combination of a relatively thick, opaque plastic and brushed aluminum palmrests black notebook out of a solid feel and shows almost no signs of slowing. The screen is securely closed a lot of tension in the hinge of the display inside. The protective cover of the screen is enough coverage to bend light and distort appeared on the Toshiba satellite p300 battery when you press on the back. The opening screen, you can set the hinges must be valid for a long period of high tension that prevents the display of an open failure. The body of the laptop seems to be well designed with minimal chassis flex and creak of plastic.

One of the areas of design, which struck me at the bottom of the laptop. The expansion bay allows access to hard disk, optional WWAN and WLAN card, and twice the RAM. The roof is supported by the five live alone (my only complaint), then you have to spend a minute or two lost all the screws before you can share your hard disk or add more RAM. That said, I am always pleased when the producers make it easier for homeowners to upgrade their laptops.

Ports and Features

Port selection on the Aspire 1830T is pretty standard for a netbook or ultra modern 11-inch. Acer offers three USB 2.0 ports, HDMI, VGA, LAN and audio ports. It also includes a SDHC card slot for expanding internal memory, or simply download images from your camera during travel. As we begin to see USB 3.0 in the conventional laptops and many more USB 3.0 external hard drive on the market just like Acer has found a way to at least one USB 3.0 port on the laptop $ 900. Here is a brief summary of the Aspire 1830T:

The screen and speakers

11.6-inch LED-backlit screen Aspire 1830T as well as many other glossy screens we've seen in a 11-inch HP pavilion dv2000 battery . 1366x768 resolution, ideal for surfing the Internet, editing photos, or watch movies in high definition 720p. Color and contrast are due to the glossy LED-backlit funds. There was a real contrast ratio of 206:1 in our laboratory and a maximum brightness of 168 nits (light enough for indoor use and bright enough for outdoor use, while the sun shines directly on the filter screen, if the slope of the screen forward or back the colors start to appear weak or very washed horizontal viewing angles better; .. remain visible up to about 60 degrees, where the reflections on the screen to dominate what is shown.

Built-in speakers shot sounded metallic and knees. The speaker had no low-frequency voice and just a touch of mid-range. It's nice to hear the warning window, or watching a video on YouTube, but not for sharing music or movie in a small room. Orientation speaker creates problems if you have the headphones on the bed and pressed against the thick clothes in her lap. I can easily block the speaker with the legs, which droplets. In short, music lovers would be better to use a good pair of headphones or connect your laptop to your stereo via the HDMI output.

The keyboard and touchpad

Nearly full-screen keyboard on the Aspire 1830T is convenient to write, but got mixed reviews from our editors. Acer has decided to take a big Chiclet-style (also called island-style) keyboard with the keys a little bigger than what we have seen in many HP g60 battery with island-style keyboards. The result is less space between each key that can lead to more errors. Another potential problem with this type of keyboard is that people with long nails can get caught on the edge of the nail buttons. In any case, the keyboard looks pretty good and had only a small deflection or "bounce" under great pressure to write. The keys are a rough matte finish on top of that increases traction on the finger. The individual key is a soft, blunt as a click when pressed.

The touchpad on the 1830T is a good model with the sensitivity of the Alps and upset some delay in making quick movements. The biggest problem is the paint on the surface of contact which is separated by a clear line in palmrests. So, it's easy to accidentally move the finger touch pad while moving the cursor, and then pop the pointer on a completely different place when the finger on the touchpad. On a happier note, the touchpad is a model capable of things that you can use finger gestures such as "pinching" or "spin" control screen zoom or rotate the picture. Both touchpad buttons are very low and when pressed, the sample was mixed buttons that lead to finger caught more than once.

Performance and benchmarks

Acer Aspire 1830T features an Intel Core i7-680 1.46GHz ultra low voltage processors from Intel Turbo Boost function at speeds up to 2.53 GHz Translation: Although thin and light notebook, netbook looks like a much stronger the $ 350 netbook.

In fact, at the time of writing (November 2010) Acer Aspire 1830T-68U118 offers the fastest processor was the 11-inch Compaq HP nc6120 batterywe've tested. However, it is natural to expect a high level of performance for the price of $ 900 for this configuration. For this reason, it is useful to recall that the Aspire 1830T is two times faster than the new Apple MacBook Air 11.6-inch ($ 999) to run our benchmarks wPrime the rate of synthesis of the results of your computer's CPU . The overall system performance is also considerably faster than the Atom netbook heart single or double, without delay in the Windows environment.

500 5400 GB hard drive is fast enough to load quickly basic applications like Microsoft Office or Adobe Photoshop, but if you regularly open large files like high resolution images or video files in high definition, we recommend 7200 in a disk or SSD performance. However, the capacity of 500 GB of storage should be more than enough for most consumers who want to store family photos and music library.

The only apparent weakness in the armor under Compaq HP 6710b battery performance of integrated graphics. Yes, Intel GPU provides high definition video smoothly (much better than you get from a cheap netbook). Yes, support for Microsoft DirectX 10 games means you'll get better gaming performance of a netbook. However, the Acer Aspire 1830T provides only part of the game's features, including an Alienware M11x notebook ($ 799) or above 11-inch MacBook Air from Apple.

In summary, the Aspire 1830T is absolutely fantastic for general use, but falls woefully short in terms of games for $ 900 laptop.

ASUS U41JF-A1 Review

The U41JF ASUS is a thin and lightweight 14-inch notebook with NVIDIA graphics power and excellent battery life. Combine that with a good Intel Core i3 and a price below $ 900. What could? Read on to find out.

The U41JF-A1 has respectable specifications for the money, especially since everything all in one 14-inch notebook of only 1.1 cm thick. The 425M GT Nvidia graphics card is more than strong enough to run the latest games. Guarantee of two years is considerable and includes 1 year of protection against accidental damage, additional coverage is similar to competing Fujitsu lifebook t4010 battery.

Construction and Design

The silver and black chassis U41JF ASUS is unlikely, although it still seems to be good in itself. The silver aluminum cover is very attractive and feels cold. As already mentioned, the frame is only 1.1 "thick, the cover is one of the most beautiful I've seen on a laptop in every size range. U41JF feels a bit 'heavier than expected due to the high 8-cell battery, the 4, was 8 kg. on my digital scale.

One thing I like the look of Fujitsu fpcbp136 is the relative lack of LED status indicators, only the power button at the top right and four small lights under the buttons of the touchpad. However, the power button the light in a dark room (like the light in power). On a related note, were the lack of physical U41JF buttons, volume buttons up and down to appreciate.

Aluminum cover, the rest of U41JC constructed of plastic. ASUS is the decision unfortunate, speaker of black plastic, made luminous display and use of the keyboard surface. It seems that the dust and fingerprints, no matter what to keep, this laptop is clean is a challenge. Sustainability is one of the highlights of U41JF is, despite my judicious use of a microfiber cloth, scratches appeared on the surface of shiny plastic.

The U41JF is less than the average quality of the construction of a notebook in this price range, it is clear that some commitments have been made to this thin. The frame is made of an abnormal reduction of suffering, for example, by selecting the area around the keyboard, even a little 'more than the normal pressure curve, makes the whole frame. The frame is also easy to grab the first two corners, which is not good, must in turn be much stiffer than the frame to prevent a motion to transfer the internal circuits. Circuits, with a higher risk of long-term failure can double.

The goal is not consistent. The silver plastic is used on the palm rest is of better quality than the glossy black plastic. Do not touch the surface of the Dell latitude d520 battery with the product sounds cheap and some nails popping noises depending on where it fell.

The cover also has some quality problems. Generated by clicking on the backs of the waves on the screen, this protection is not as good as possible means. The lid is also very easy to get back. Another thing I noticed is that the lid hinge is very steep, so you can take your laptop with the lid open quickly lead to a more open.

Who is trying to upgrade RAM or bad luck, however, access to two, remove the two screws that secure the cover on the underside of the laptop.


U41JF quality of workmanship has been disappointing in general, the chassis feels cheap, and quality problems echoes something of the same version I see in other notebooks from Compaq HP 6720s battery.

Ports and Features

Port selection is limited to U41JF is HDMI, the only significant recording. Lacks an ExpressCard slot, an eSATA port or USB 3.0.

Lenovo IdeaPad V460 & Sony VAIO P Netbook (Update) Reviews

Lenovo IdeaPad V460

The V460 IdeaPad combines aesthetics and a section of a good performance, battery life.

Business books are not always convenient - Lenovo aims to change that with its V-series IdeaPad. Today we look at the V460, with a 14-inch display, Intel Core i5 and comes in under $ 800

The specifications are slightly smaller than expected for this price, but this study will show whether the promise of "good building" is for the hole.

Design and construction

The V460 is a stylish look that is professional IdeaPad at home in almost any environment. Chassis and cover is covered with finely polished aluminum, which not only feels good, but increases the resistance. The V460 weighs 4.85 pounds, slightly above normal for a Dell latitude d531 battery of 14 inches. The chassis is relatively thin, with an average height of about one inch. The V460 is the build quality is above average for its price class. Taking advantage of the two front corners of the structure produces the minimum bending and twisting. The surface of the structure is rigid and does not bend under pressure, with the aluminum.

The cover is strong enough and does not feel fragile, but to put pressure on the back of the screen with your fingers produce waves on the screen, aluminum is not much help here, because I thought it would. My main gripe with the design V460 is the use of glossy black plastic surrounding the screen and attracts dust and fingerprints and shows easily and is difficult to clean.

The finish is good, the differences between the parties are compatible and no sharp edges or unfinished. There are volume buttons, mute below and above the keyboard. It is the touch screen and works well. Unlike most notebooks in its class, V460 biometric fingerprint reader integrated palm rest. V460 is an excellent build quality and overall aesthetics. The use of aluminum on the outside makes a huge difference.

Ports and Features

The V460 has an average selection of ports. An ExpressCard slot is included, but no USB 3.0 and eSATA.

Sony VAIO P Netbook (Update)

8-inch Sony VAIO Lifestyle Series P netbook returns with a model update in the original series. This netbook ultraportable packs a more powerful processor than the previous version (but it still has an Intel Atom processor), Windows 7, Vista Home Premium, however, more solid state SATA drives (all models have been hours to days SSD) Standard Compaq HP 6710b battery lasts longer, with a touch pad on the screen to change the view (the change as a pill or a smartphone), some new features and much more - if you're willing to pay the price high. Sony has not made any changes in size, so it might still be in your back pocket. We tested the soft drinks in our benchmark and show how it corresponds to the previous version and also other netbooks on the market in terms of performance and design.

Construction and Design

With the new Sony VAIO P is a new look. Remains the same size and cover the edges are still rounded, but the box itself has been improved to give a matte finish, which left no traces visible imperfections on the outside. The screen is bright, but, so expect a few fingerprints and light reflections inevitable. This Compaq HP nc6120 battery is still "fresh" feel to it because of its exterior styling is elegant, bright, even without the housing. The colors available at the time of this review of Sony's online store is pink and black, but our model is white.

The construction of the upgrade is the same as last time - strong enough to be hit by a backpack or bag, without risk to achieve it. The fact that there is no desire to prevent scratches that could have been a problem before.

On the downside, it is built with an Intel Atom processor, but on the positive side, the atom has significantly improved the speed and cache size - the last time we checked the model produced a 1.33 GHz Atom Z520 and our new model has an Atom Z550, respectively, 2.00 GHz, 512 KB of cache.

Ports and Features

As the latest version, this series netbook multiple ports for most HP pavilion dv2000 battery the most important. It comes with two USB 2.0 ports, headphone jack, an SD card slot, a slot HG Duo, MagicGate Memory Stick, and an expansion port. The expansion bay has been included in the previous version, but now sold separately for about $ 60. The external display and LAN / Ethernet hooks directly into the A / C adapter for easy transport.

ASUS Eee PC 1015b & HP EliteBook 8560p Reviews<

ASUS Eee PC 1015b

Eee PC-1015b using one of AMD's latest creation, the processor C-30. Technically, this is the "Accelerated Processing Unit" (APU), which combines a traditional CPU and graphics processing units (GPU) on a single chip. C-30 is an integrated AMD Radeon, and is valued at a very low power consumption. C-30 has a single nucleus, which is not promising, with only 1 GB of RAM also negatively affect performance. Windows 7 launches limited functionality version of Windows 7, even at that price, Asus has used Home Premium or raise prices accordingly to include it.

Design and construction

1015b Asus Eee PC is part of the series "Firefly," and does not seem as clear as the Eee PC old project. This netbook is pretty look and feel is 100% black nylon. Matte finish on the palm and coverage are appreciated, shiny plastic surrounding the keyboard and part of the screen is not so dirty and scratched easily. Plastic mat is much more durable and easier to clean. Dell xps m1730 battery has an excellent design, it is not bad, but certainly not win any style points.

1015b is constructed entirely of plastic. Feel thin plastic, I was able to produce several hit by pressing the palm of the hand with fingernails. Finish could use some work, most of the edges where the parties meet the rough. In general, the government feels strong and resistant to bending. Coverage of netbooks on the other hand, is well made too easy to fold and push the waves on the screen. A bit "annoying if you do not tilt the screen back far enough, only about 15-20 degrees past vertical.

As for modernization of the building, 1015b just go for it. Access panel on the bottom of the box with a single slot of RAM, hard drive upgrade requires a netbook to disassemble. RAM upgrades are limited, since C-30 processor has a single memory channel controller. The overall quality of construction should be improved; thick plastic with a soft tip for.

Ports and Features

1015b includes a respectable selection of connectors for a netbook. HDMI is a remarkable integration. Frankly, most modern laptops have these ports, so we're not too impressed with what we see here. All descriptions of the images from left to right.

HP EliteBook 8560p

HP EliteBook 8560p is the latest generation of professional notebooks from a premium 15-inch Hewlett-Packard. The workhorse of aluminum as a desktop replacement for mobile professionals, advanced technology packaged in a rugged case designed to cover. Read further to know if the new Toshiba satellite a105 battery is like the "elite", as it seems.

Design and construction

In recent years, the HP EliteBook have distinguished themselves in the working world with an exterior design, with brushed metal casing and rugged internal structure of the magnesium alloy. In summary, the EliteBook fresh and are robust. The latest generation of HP EliteBook, the property is via the HP calls its design philosophy of "The Forge". FORGE is actually an acronym for the words "Shape optimization, rich, green and sustainable." You want to be when you consider that marketing fluff for a moment, what is HP trying to say that these books are elegant, offering excellent performance and ensures high print quality, provide effective management of energy for the Dell latitude d531 battery life, and very well built to withstand the stresses of society.

That statement may seem bold, but based on what we saw in the previous generation of marketing EliteBooks bases these claims are very real indeed.
One of the first things you notice when you pick up the new EliteBook 8560p 15-inch laptop, it feels like pieces of thick aluminum. Do not you hear the "flex" to see what normally used in plastics laptops at low cost. The notebook has fulfilled completely redesigned HP DuraCase 8560p which means military standard MIL-STD-8710G tests, these notebooks are more wear and tear of a typical notebook. Despite the quality sturdy construction, this notebook should be easy to take with a weight of just over Ł sixth

Six books can be difficult for a laptop of 15 cm when used for many 17-inch laptops, the scales tip in the same weight class. That said, I invite everyone in a professional, portable metal with high-end processors, discrete graphics card and equipped with an optical drive that weighs less than five pounds. The coating build extra pounds or the weight, so anything made of metal armor that covers the notebook.

The EliteBook p-series with the second generation (Sandy Bridge) Intel Core i7 and Core i7 quad-core, Core i5 and i3 Dual-Core, with the possibility of an integrated graphics or AMD Radeon HD 6470M graphics processor. The notebook also features a USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 port for charging, and a variety of wireless options on both drives and hard drives or solid state memory.

The land is the 8560p (not to bend or crack under pressure) are fairly strong and has a unique access panel to make mass upgrades, or replacement of parts. If it is very easy to upgrade to replace a manager or owner of a lonely little RAM or hard drive. You'll also notice the dock connector on the bottom of the HP pavilion dv2000 battery, if you have multiple monitors 8560p abroad or if you need additional ports must be connected.

Ports and Features

While we are on the port, loaded the team, the HP EliteBook 8560p, with two "super fast" USB 3.0, USB 2.0 and a "charge" USB 2.0 (which you can modify a device like a smartphone or iPod, even if the laptop directly to the battery). If this is not enough, it is also a standard VGA port, DisplayPort connector, Firewire, headphone and microphone separately, audio, Ethernet, modem, (she said yes, "serial"), serial port and an ExpressCard / 54 slot, Smart Card reader and a card reader SDHC / SD / MMC.

The conclusion is that the 8560p has an incredible number of integrated ports ... and if this were not enough, you can always use the optional docking station, as well as adding DisplayPort, DVI and USB.
